Roses in the Rain - Buck 65, Adaline

This is where she finds herself, alone and empty handed

Abandoned building and she’s stranded, chosen and demanded

This is where she needs to be, watching passing traffic

Faraway expression painted, brave and laughing tragic

He’s the same and somewhere else in cold and blinding silence

Doesn’t want to leave the house, he’s in divine defiance

Harmonizing unbeknownst, studying the ceiling

They’re running for their lives from everybody and concealing

Roses in the rain

Bend or you will break

The sun will rise again

For roses in the rain

Little birds make pretty music, always tell their secrets

Empty beds and heavy heads, we’re dreaming though we’re sleepless

Falling stars, concentric circles, roses in the rain

The image of our truest self exposes in the pain

Looking through our photographs, the melody is clarified

Waiting for the storm to pass like Liberty is paralysed

There’s a wolf that lives inside me, you have got one too

They recognize one another, they can see right through

Roses in the rain

Bend or you will break

The sun will rise again

For roses in the rain

Distant lover reminisces

Faraway mister and missus

Hopelessness versus ambitious

Was the truth, becomes fictitious

Embraces that heal the vicious

Boredom kills, she’s feeling listless

Catching birds and reeling fishes

Hides the truth, concealing witness

Open heart revealing wishes

Temptation, appealing business

Sits behind the wheel and listens

Slowly, surely dealing with this

Passing time and healing distance

Almost like it’s really Christmas

Drunk on love, the kneeling mistress

Taking chances stealing kisses

(Kisses, kisses)

Roses in the rain

Bend or you will break

The sun will rise again

For roses in the rain

Like roses in the rain

Roses in the rain

Composes, in the vein

Closes and constrains

Imposes on the pain

(Like roses in the rain)

Roses in the rain

Composes, in the vein

Closes and constrains

Imposes on the pain

(Like roses in the rain)

Like roses in the rain
