Good Year for The Roses — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray

Lyin cold the way you left em, but at least your lips caressed them while

You packed

Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didnt drink

But at least you thought you wanted it, thats so much more than I can say

For me



What a good year for the roses

Many blooms still linger there

The lawn could stand another mowin

Funny I dont even care

As you turn to walk away

As the door behind you closes

The only thing I have to say

Its been a good year for the roses



After three full years of marriage, its the first time that you havent

Made the bed

I guess the reason were not talkin, theres so little left to say we

Havent said

While a million thoughts go racin through my mind, I find I havent said a word

>from the bedroom the familiar sound of a babys cryin goes unheard



What a good year for the roses

Many blooms still linger there

The lawn could stand another mowin

Funny I dont even care

As you turn to walk away

As the door behind you closes

The only thing I have to say

Its been a good year for the roses
