Blue Roses - Runaway June

I cheat 'cause I lie

I lie 'cause I steal

I steal because my heart is good as buried in a field

It’s food for the flowers

In God’s honest truth

Even the wild roses are blue

I drink because I smoke

I smoke because there’s fire

A flame unquenchable burns higher and higher

My love is long gone

A love I thought was true

Now even the wild roses are blue

In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)

You reach out for me

In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)

I reach out for you

And I wake up crying

There’s nothing I can do

And even the wild roses are blue

The river is long

The valley is dry

The birds, they don’t sing

They just hang their heads and cry

It’s lonesomest sound

Now, how do I get through?

When even the wild roses are blue

In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)

You reach out for me

In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)

I reach out for you

I wake up crying

There’s nothing I can do

Even the wild roses are blue

Even the wild roses are blue

I cheat 'cause I lie

I lie 'cause I steal

And I steal because my heart’s been buried in a field
