LYRICS
----------------------------------------------------------
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lying cold the way you left them
But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
Or the lip print on a half filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it
And that's so much more than I can say for me
But what a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowing
Funny, I don't even care
When you turned to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses
After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talking
There's so little left to say, we haven't said
While a million thoughts go running through my mind
I find I haven't said a word
From the bedroom the familiar sound
Of a baby's cryin' goes unheard
But what a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowing
Funny, I don't even care
And when you turned to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses
