COUNTING CROWS - A Good Year For The Roses lyrics

rate me

I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick<br>On the cigarettes there in the ashtray.<br>Lying cold the way you left them,<br>But at least your lips caressed them<br>While you packed.<br>Or the lip print o a half-filled cup<br>Of coffee that you poured<br>And didn't drink.<br>But at least you thought you wanted it<br>Which is so much more than I can say for me.<br><br>Refrain<br><br>It's been a good year for the roses<br>Many blooms still linger there.<br>The lawn could stand another mowing<br>It's funny, I don't even care<br>But as you turned and walked away<br>As the door behind you closes<br>The only thing I thought to say<br>Was what a good year for the roses<br><br>After three, four years of marriage<br>It's the first time that you haven't made the bed<br>I guess the reason we're not talking,<br>Is there's so little left to say that we haven't said<br>While a million thoughts go racing through my mind<br>I guess I haven't said a word<br>From the bedroom, the familiar sound<br>Of our one baby's crying goes unheard
