The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side

Everything about this house
Is gonna grow and die


Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace

I can't face another day

And love lies bleeding in my hand

Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band

Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes

Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through


You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now

While if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow


And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands


And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands


Oooooh oooh
Oooooh
Oh oh oh oh ooh

Love lies bleeding in my hands
Oooh
Oooh ooh
