The Last Petal On the Rose

When all else went to hell And even he thought, he was too far gone She found hope in desperation and she promised She’d keep hanging on What she sees in him he doesn’t know Cause even he, can’t see it in himself And the storms of life feeding him feels like A bottomless well The last petal on the rose Wilts a little more everyday But it somehow finds the faith to go on While all others have gone away The light of its love Makes it feel more like a spray The last petal on a rose bringing blue skies To a world that’s turned gray Any chance of getting sober Found him guided, by the devils hands If it weren’t for the love of a woman He’d be eternally damned The last petal on the rose Wilts a little more everyday But it somehow finds the faith to go on While all others have gone away The light of its love Makes it feel more like a spray The last petal on a rose bringing blue skies To a world that’s turned gray At his eulogy the only Petal that was left on the rose Laid beside him for she too had decided It was her time to go Wilted withered finally fallen The last petal on the rose
