Rosebud

(álbum: Antique Hearts - 2006)

Come back to bed, hang up the telephone
Lay your sweet head in my arms
The sun peeks through those blinds
And we talked right through the night
Won't you have a drink with me

I've never done this sort of thing
And by your eyes baby, neither have you
But if you help me I'll help you
This stays between me and you
The broken pieces of a bigger lie
And the blood is on both our hands

Rosebud, I know you want to take it slow
But when can I see you again

Under the glow of an antique lamp
You stole my breath away
And the only witness was a muted TV screen
Those sunset lips, glowing red and warm to the touch
For a moment I was lost

Rosebud I know you want to take it slow
But when can I see you again

The highway starts to sing
The city turns on it's lights
And a new day has begun
You put that blue dress on
A breath of air for a feeble heart
Then a kiss and you're gone

Rosebud I know where you want to go
So when can I see you again
