Jerry Golden Poet Lyric

Roses, the Story of Last Night

It’s amazing how you hold yourself
When those around you have fallen away
And there you were, to be or not 
They’ll whisper until you break
They’ll whisper until you bow

Visit’s the church of her Christ
But you know it’s not where you belong
They can’t tell you who to be
But then we wouldn’t have a song to sing

Flower girl in her mothers dress
She ran away from home
Knew her worst was she at her best
Handed down jewels around her neck

This is all of my runaway you may love
So it was goodbye to everything
When there was nothing left of you to steal
Something made up when nothing else was real

This loneliness was yours
Because no one knew how to keep your ease
And your family closed the doors
Replaced you 
With the love for something they had no use for

Roses in the air
As the weather smeared your smile
If this is where it ends
With the fragrance of a child
She was like roses in the air
You were scattered around your needs
A soft and gentle breeze
But the world was so careless with it’s touch
Her roses felt the air
When the world was not so nice
You held your tears at night
