GRATEFUL DEAD - It Must Have Been The Roses lyrics

rate me

Annie laid her head down in the roses.<br>She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.<br>I don't know, maybe it was the roses,<br>All I know I could not leave her there.<br><br>I don't know, it must have been the roses,<br>The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.<br>I don't know, maybe it was the roses,<br>All I know I could not leave her there.<br><br>Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea,<br>Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company,<br>If I tell another what your own lips told to me,<br>Let me lay 'neath the roses, till my eyes no longer see.<br><br>I don't know, it must have been the roses,<br>The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.<br>I don't know, maybe it was the roses,<br>All I know I could not leave her there.<br><br>One pane of glass in the window,<br>No one is complaining, no, come in and shut the door,<br>Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore,<br>And it's strange how no one comes round any more.<br><br>I don't know, it must have been the roses,<br>The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair.<br>I don't know, maybe it was the roses,<br>All I know I could not leave her there.<br><br>Annie laid her head down in the roses.<br>She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, in her long brown hair.<br>I don't know, maybe it was the roses,<br>All I know I could not leave her there.
