Roses (Live from Roses Midwest)

I look out my window And watch the snowfall turn to rain And I look for the moment When I'll hold your hand again From behind my piano In the days that you've been gone I hear whispers through the thorns Of when to bloom and for how long Will the roses bloom a second round for you? Will the roses bloom a second round for you? People say they won't But I know better than to hold on I look out my window And watch the sunrise turn to day And I look for the moment When I'll catch hold of your name From behind my kitchen table In the time you've been away I hear sunlight coax her petals But can't convince them all to stay Will the roses bloom a second round for you? Will the roses bloom a second round for you? People say they never do But they have never heard All that the roses say about you Now just outside my window The lilacs waltz and twirl And the marigolds turn to butterscotch My tears to strings of pearls The willows all invite me out The lilies sing and hum My life's alight in wonder While my world is all undone But the roses Look, the roses All for you Yes the roses bloomed a second round All for you
