Crimson Rose
She walks alone down the dusty road
On a night without a moon
She knows if he ever finds her
That her life will end, too soon
For now he knows of her infidelity
That she's hidden from him for years
She pulls her hair back out of her eyes
And she wipes away her tears
"I still love you", she softly mumbles
As his car pulls by her side
He says, "Get in the car, we need to talk"
As he takes her for a ride
He says, "I love you too, we can work this out"
For he loved her way too much
He reaches for her tear-stained hand
Cause he's aching to feel her touch
She smiles and take his hand
Not expecting it to end like this
They lean across the seat
And embrace in a passionate kiss
He grabs her wrist and won't let go
As she sees the coming light
He aims his car in oncoming traffic
As he holds her, oh, so tight
"Why are you doing this?, she asked
He said, "Because of all of your lies"
The last thing she heard him say
Was "I love you" and then she dies
It took them several hours
To clean up the twisted mess
When they found her husband's body
He had her picture on his chest
A note was found beside him
That told of her affair
It said if he couldn't have her
He wasn't going to share
Why it had to end like this?
No one truly knows
But the place where they found her body
Stands, a crimson rose
