Lover of mine Hand over the key The teeth have all been gone And darling do you find you’re cutting my bones with Words you won’t say Hands you don’t hold
Better the last time Sweeter than this time See that you’re older still Would turn you around Pushing you down My lips are in bloom Fighting your frown
Tell me your secrets I’ll ask you no questions Braving your mountain top When I’m around you When I’m allowed to Taking my my chances I’d make a fortune
I love you I love you The darkest part of you Writing the sweetest song Drop down from the ledges Hand over defenses I’m longing to see you Through white picket fences
If God kept his promise I’d tip-toe through tulips Gather your loss again Jump over your hedges Stand under your branches We’re coming up roses Coming up roses indeed
Is patience a virtue Waiting what fools do? Momma would never tell But the sun would drop home It’s cutting my bones with Cases of stone From a heart made of gold
Return to the last time Sweeter than this time Tugging against my will To dive under your dock Swim in your pond Knowing the water Will carry you along
If God kept his promise I’d tip-toe through tulips Gather your loss again Jump over your hedges Swing on your branches We’re coming up roses Coming up roses
If God kept his promise I’d tip-toe through tulips Gather your loss again Jump over your hedges Swing on your branches We’re coming up roses Coming up roses indeed Coming up roses indeed We’re coming up We’re coming up roses indeed
