Take the Roses

See the roses in my head As I lie here on my bed There is no reason for the night I draw the shades and slowly Slip away from sight As the sun comes up this noon I hope my life is starting soon And the things I'm looking at are real They mean so much to me They make the dreams that I feel Distant sounds Have all meaning clear to me I hear them coming and I know The things I want are right behind Coming slow Distant sounds Have all meaning clear to me I hear them coming and I know The things I want are right behind Coming slow There was something I once heard Silver dreams are like the birds When you hear them coming then you fly You take the roses And you pray they don't Pass you by Take the roses And let your dreams just fly Take the roses Don't let them pass you by Take the roses And let your dreams just fly Take the roses Don't let them pass you by
