Paper Roses

She sat amongst the paper roses He left them there for her To gather once the sun went down To smell when he was gone Immortalized in paper No sorrow here to show She smiled and read the messages Once moonlight had lit the sky Oh Paper Roses What do they say Oh Paper Roses Come back come what may The night is ours once more He just finished playing guitar Laying paper roses To keep the fire aglow Oh Paper Roses What do they say Oh Paper Roses Come back come back what may
