As The Last Petal Falls
I am the last petal on a rose
and I hold on tight
so my owner will be pleased
and carry on with her delight
My other petals are now gone
all fallen from above the stem
it was so sad to see them go
reaching their bitter end
But I hold strong
encouraged by Glenn Hughes songs
of love and laughter and pure happiness
it is where I do belong
Oh no, my base is weakening
I'm falling, losing breath
it was a joyous run
but now I have my death
