song with rose
Singer:costello, elvis
between last breaths and first regrets
the days dragged on like cigarettes
in the distance martyrs and martinets
dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats
where but heaven does love end
and where on earth does it begin
it's not the kind of love that is pinned
or presses pennies in a tin
consoled as i was by that shade. here lie the roses in the ashes
deep as the barnacles that cling
just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything
in that other still forever
in that time before the past
i told myself we'd be together
can you promise me that it will be eternally?
consoled as i was by that shade.
