THE PRETENDERS lyrics : "The English Roses"

Just before it rains
The wind whips 'round the balcony
And the sky closes on the English roses

And she'll be pacin'
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round her room
These storms always find here to remind her


To the endless sky
The pink over grey

She looks for an answer
But it's too late
Maybe it's true

Some things were just never meant to be
Maybe not


This is a story
Fruit cut from the vine
Forgot and left to rot

Long before its time
This is a story
About the girl who lived next door

Looking for someone to hold

A wish made on a star

Brought her here tonight
At a courtyard she waits
A thousand broken dates

But she holds the hymnal
Where so carefully pressed
Is the English rose she laid to rest


It's only a story
Flowers in full bloom

Bouquets in every room
Ooh, this is a story
Fruit cut from the vine

Looking for someone to hold
