Roses In Time

(mmm-hmmm) Roses are red,

Violets are blue

So on went the letter

I first wrote to you

But the pages have yellowed,

the ink started to fade And I'm finally leaving

the shadow we made

I called up my brother,

sat out on his porch

Stopped trying to carry

that burnt out old torch

He handed me coffee

and said with a smile 'You haven't been laughing like this in

a while'

And I'm finding the boy

that I lost in the dark

Dusting the rust off this old beating heart

Calling my friends, picking up my guitar

Remembering exactly who we really are (yeah)

I spent all my Friday nights

hiding away

But I joined the old league down at Miller's today

We dropped all the catch-up

and laughed at the past

Some friendships are built out of iron to last

And I'm finding the boy

that I lost in the dark

Dusting the rust off this old beating heart

Calling my friends, picking up my guitar

Remembering exactly who

we really are (hmmm-mmm)

No more yellowed letters

Just clear open blue (ahhh)
