lyrics

Why don't you try to be a little honest with me
Before we're old and gray
I plead and I pray that you'll come back someday
But love shouldn't have to wait

The mirror still holds your silver and gold
Your teacup sits patiently
While I browse every book for the wrong turn I took
All I see on the page is your name

So give me a sign that I'm not wasting time
A letter, a postcard, a call
I wait in the rain, I watch every train
Been kicked out of every bar

Well they whisper in town you were seen in a gown
And a prince swept you up off your feet
Now the waitresses grin every time I walk in
And the dogs hang their heads in the street

In the bleak, quiet dawn with the radio on
I picture your car pulling in
The church bells would ring and the bluebirds would sing
And the rumors would sail with the wind

I'd give you my word, but promises, you've heard
And I know that I've broken a few
But if I held you dear, you'd know I was sincere
To roses, I bid adieu
