She don’t like roses, she don’t like champagne She took a step away from the fast lane She lives on drums road down by the freight train You met her on a Monday; you were in love by Tuesday night
She lived in Detroit, she lived in Boston She had a couple years there, she got lost in She still gets shaky, but not too often Take her in your arms when you wanna calm her down
And her bed is under her window And the sun’s going down in the west And her voice whispers softly ‘go real slow’ And you watch the rhythm of her breath
She wants a tree house, she wants a garden A little bit of land to put her hands in It smells like lavender in her apartment It’s always on your clothes, every time you’re going home
And her bed is under her window And her fingers brush over your chest With your heart even fast you go real slow And you match the rhythm of her breath
And if all your dreams come true Do your memories still end up on to you? Is there such a thing as really breaking through? To another day and a brighter shade of blue
And her bed is under her window And her arms laying over your chest And a street light is soft on her pillow You can feel the rhythm of her breath
She don’t like roses, she don’t drink champagne Now you walking home in a soft rain You passed the mailman, you watch the lights change And you’re feeling fine; you don’t even mind the rain
