Strawbs - In Amongst The Roses lyrics

rate me

The old house stands deserted<br />

Crumbling and decaying<br />

Its broken windows watching<br />

As a young child wanders<br />

In amongst the roses<br />

Overgrown and falling<br />

The garden once was cared for<br />

Life is like the garden.<br />

<br />

The roses reach to touch her<br />

They whisper as she passes<br />

Their petals form a carpet<br />

Soft and warm and scented<br />

In amongst the roses<br />

Full in bloom and fading<br />

The young child cannot hear them<br />

Life is like the young child.<br />

<br />

The young child has been gathering<br />

Flowers for her mother<br />

Flowers for her bedside<br />

Flowers for her table<br />

In amongst the roses<br />

She is gathering wild flowers<br />

The roses bend to kiss her<br />

Life is like the roses.<br />

<br />

The old house stands deserted<br />

Crumbling and decaying<br />

Its broken windows watching<br />

As a young child wanders<br />

In amongst the roses<br />

Full in bloom and fading<br />

The young child cannot hear them<br />

Life is like the young child.
