Roses

I remember sitting beside your bed
Holding your hand,
begging you not to leave me

You looked at me and said:
"Oh you fool, I always loved you, even when you were drunk"

And the bottle of whiskey stayed dry
And the package of cigars thay you gave me
I haven't touched them
since the day you died

And as I closed your eyes...

I shaked all over and felt light in my head

And the bottle of whiskey stayed dry

But the roses
on your grave
Are still alive...

There are some low voice register parts in this song. And also very loud screaming desperated ones. At least in the way I intended and performed it.

It has been a while since I wrote these lyrics. A recent post by @meesterboom triggert this memory. Although his song is a bit more joyfull. ;-)
