Lyrics
Of all the things I miss oh so much
Have wilted changed and skewed
Vinous rose lips that felt so soft to touch
Now wrinkled petals pruned
Soaked up the love from me once
Just as the leaves drink morning dew
But now my only dream's split into two
Now I want to see dead roses bloom
Instrumental
If red carnations were heartache symbols
They've scattered petals far between and few
And if I ever could nurture you right back
To however your flowers were, I would
Oh dead roses, I know it's over
Dead roses, I still can picture you
Still all the while, all I could think
Was how to bring my roses back in bloom
When I know that I can't control my feelings
Dead roses bloom
And I know that my thoughts may wade upstream
Dead roses bloom
All I know is I can't pretend unfeeling
Now I, I want to see dead roses bloom
Now I, I want to see dead roses bloom
Oh dead roses, I know it's over
Dead roses, I still can picture you
Still all the while, all I could think
Was how to bring my roses back in bloom
Oh dead roses, I know it's over
Dead roses, I still can picture you
Still all the while, all I could think
Was how to bring my roses back in bloom
