As i walked out
She took me at my word
I`ll be gone when you get back

Was the last thing i heard

Empty spaces in the wardrobe

Snow white folded sheets
Dead red roses in the
Jar on the mantlepiece


A love that spawned
We thought could never die

But it burned itself right out
In the wink of an eye


And its so,that you dont miss
What you got till its gone
Dead red roses made me see

What i had done

Dead red roses,

Dead red roses
For the love that died
Was enshrined Dead red roses


She begged and she pleaded
Baby please stay

And i heard her start to cry
As i walked away


I should have turned around
Ohh but i kept right on
Dead red roses is all i have left

Now she has gone

Dead red roses,

Dead red roses
For the love that died
Was enshrined Dead red roses


At night,cold and dark
And i feel so alone

Seems theres a hole up in the sky
Where the sun was shown


When i close my eyes
I see her pretty face
When they open

Dead red roses are in her place

Dead red roses,

Dead red roses
For the love that died
Was enshrined Dead red roses


Dead red roses,
Dead red roses

For the love that died
Was enshrined Dead red roses
