Roses And Cigarettes

Plastered in your newspaper palace Dishes and the backdoor slams The dogs on the floor They don't roam anymore And the rivers gone deaf at the dam The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps Chokes you when you lift your rake A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth But your love aint the kind you can keep Oh roses and cigarettes Pillow case that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again Seen how you look at the stranger I see how you waite when he's gone If I told you I thought that there was a sin in your heart Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar He tells you he's a hero, he's a fool He tells you he'll stay till the lords breaking day Then babe he ain't nothing but cruel Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again --- Roses And Cigarettes - Ray LaMontagne
