ROSES

Lyrics and Music By Nick Patyk

Intro

V1:
I am home again
For summer's lonely days...
Walking on the pavement
Where we parted ways...
The two blue oceans of your eyes
The sweet song of your laugh...
I've let you go and now I know
What it's like to be alone...

PC1:
You love somethin', set it free,
Well I set you free that night
Wow I foolishly await the day
When I can look at you and say...

Chorus:
All these roses aside the road
They remind me of you
Though a thorn can cut so deep
I know the petals are beautiful
Through everything we've been through
All these wild tides...
Though ships may go in different ways
Your heart remains with mine...
Why don't you come home again?

V2:
On cloudless nights when we were young
Submerged in all our dreams
All was right we'd be together
Forever so it seemed
Like two ships across the water
We're finding separate ways
And as I drift I wonder if
We've made a big mistake

PC2:
We tried to save a sinking ship
But the water flowed too fast
But what's sunk beneath an angry tide
In strength and faith can survive

C2:
All these roses aside the road
They remind me of you
Though a thorn can cut so deep
I know the petals are beautiful
Through everything we've been through
All these wild tides...
Though ships may go in different ways
Your heart remains with mine...
Why don't you come home again?

Bridge:
I've been a fool so many ways
To let gold get away
But what was a boy is now a man
Darling why don't ya come home again?

Chorus 3:
All these roses aside the road
They remind me of you
Though a thorn can cut so deep
I know the petals are beautiful
Through everything we've been through
All these wild tides...
Though ships may go in different ways
Your heart remains with mine...

All these roses aside the road
They remind me of you
Though a thorn can cut so deep
I know the petals are beautiful
Through everything we've been through
All these wild tides...
Though ships may go in different ways
Your heart remains with mine...

Why don't you come home again?
