Kill a Rose Lyrics

I'll kill a rose for you

You could watch it dry

The color that it leaves behind

More precious to your eye



I still have your summer evenings

Protected in my mind

I pack away the moments

As you leave them all behind



All the things you saw, brother

Tell them to me

Everything that you know, sister

Give it to me

Broken on the wheel, brother

Blame it on me

This is your reward, sister

Hidden with me



I'll keep my distance

Out beyond the wall

Drifting toward the quiet into

Which everything must fall



You could not tell me where

You wanted me to go

In turn I cannot tell you

Because I do not know



All the things you saw, brother

Tell them to me

Everything that you know, sister

Give it to me

Broken on the wheel, brother

Blame it on me

This is your reward, sister

Hidden with me



Said out loud, it could be the first shot in a very long war

And we find we both lose, were we to choose?

Slide on down, you can tell me the rest of your very long story

Not for the first time, can you spare your last dime?



All the things coming you saw, you saw, brother

Come and tell them to me, you know, you know, sister

You can tell me the rest of your very long story

It could be the first step in a very long journey



All the things coming you saw, you saw, brother

Come and tell them to me, you know, you know, sister

You can tell me the rest of your very long story

It could be the first step in a very long journey



All the things coming you saw, you saw, brother

Come and tell them to me, you know, you know, sister



All the things you saw, brother

Tell them to me

Everything that you know, sister

Give it to me

Broken on the wheel, brother

Blame it on me

This is your reward, sister

Hidden with me
