Wild Roses Songtext
von The Long Lost Band

It was in another winter
Not long after it snowed
A bus was shifting down
On a blue southern road

Wild roses, long
In stem and leaf
And daisies, oh
But they are brief

Old man at the window
With a heavenly bouquet
A girl across the aisle
Who could not look away


Wild roses, long
In stem and leaf
And daisies, oh
But they are brief

You love the flowers, he said
And the flow of the sap
My wife would like for you
And laid them in her lap

Wild roses, long
In stem and leaf
And daisies, oh
But they are brief

She smiled inside & dreamed
Of blossoms when you marry
Watched him get off and walk
Into the cemetery
