"I've Got All The Words..." (Rose)

Rose can I come down for a drink?
It's happanened again.
I've got a story that I'm sure will end poorly.
I'll begin at the end.

Rose you must know.
I couldn't find the words.
That it takes to say stay.
Now she's gone away.

Rose can I come down to your garden?
I can only wilt flowers.
Bring me your shovel there is a heart to be buried.
And a body as well.

Your letters are tied.
with a strand of your hair
in a breast pocket safe
they keep talking.

now wake up alone
with my eyes to the floor.
and i see where my knife
will end wheeping once more.

Rose can I come down to your rose bed?
tO LAY in your thorns.
No, I am empty, (?)
so there's not much to be buried. (?)
I will not be mourned.


Rose you must know.
I felt more than I said.
Now I've got all the words.
And no one.

Now the hole has been dug.
And i'm down on my knees.
Rain make us mud. (?)
In spring we bloom as one.
