Yellow Roses

from THE STONE THOREAUS by The Stone Thoreaus

/

lyrics

Well I've seen him walking by the river
Yellow roses and a trail of lights
Ragged coat, the cloth that shields him
And on and on this endless night
And on and on this shining night

Many years have passed and still they chase him
People taking, people leaving none
Simple kindness, gentle hands desert him
And on and on, this endless night
And on and on, this shining night

And how are you going to save him sister
When you can't save yourself
How are you going to save him from the fate
Of the long dark years and endless night?

Comes a time when every man does better
Comes a time when every life sees gain
But fates are worn and jaded hearts much stronger
And the rise and fall of life's ingrained

Memories linger and they taste so bitter
Second chances lost and sweet regret
The road to empty is lined with fools and sinners
And the wild eyed hopeful that don't know yet.
