Demolition String Band - Dress Of Roses lyrics

rate me

A dress hangs in the closet

She hung it there late one night

But now she's gone and I'm in your bed

And all that's left is a dress of roses

I see her there, in that small gesture

A dress she wore, then hung with care

It's screaming there, but you don't seem to hear

And I'm all alone with that dress of roses

While you're holding me you still hold onto her

And the memory of what you shared

Is still hanging there 

The rising sun brings a rude awakening

You sleep soundly while I loss and turn

I find my bag and steal one look back

And leave you with that dress of roses.
