The Yellow Roses lyrics

The yellow roses
The bronze wedding band
The marching, bouncing tuba
Tequila on the sand

Sunlight on my skin
Paid off all my debts
The upturned bucket makes a castle tower
I smoke a final cigarette

I remember you
Your tone was preachy
I am far away now
Everything is peachy

Weep for my absence if you wish to
Weep for my sake if you insist
I already cried my tears for you
And now I think I can resist
Yeah, I have learned to resist

The yellow roses
Sleeping like a happy child
It has been weeks now
Since I can remember anything going wrong
All creation smiles upon me
From the fruit fly to the king of Spain
I have been down and out before
Well, never again
