I Asked For Roses

Sweet concord mellow wine Loosening my tongue As I tell all To all About you, the volcano erupting Into my life, Storming verbally Crushing my heart... But I don't cry, Not me! Sweet concord mellow wine quiets me As as you claim you are mine I ask, "Lord why me?" "I asked for roses and you sent me a tree!"
