The Roses - Red, black, and blue lyrics

Swiftly through the thicket To the old oak tree we'd run O'er the briskly growing garden with the pinwheels We wonder what comes next, as we wander 'round the robin's nest, what fun I hear your call and heed it What else is there to do I don't know what i need yet But what is there to need, whenever i'm with you? At last, we go a-roving Our dreams were made in that shady grove You coarsely compliment the gum stain on my sneaker Then i held you in my arms, i used to think love only came through forms, not life She asks me, shall we later I reply, why not now I thought i shan't debate her But we know we won't wait, even if we could somehow My now-immaculate decision To cease my years in vain Was made with no precision But what was in her brain And the miraculous intrusion Of conversation to replete But america's delusion Pales to lust's deceit So find your faction to accuse And there you'll find a flag-shaped bruise The morn of my departure I trapped our kiss in that weakened/weekend warmth And put your sayings to my horace silver records You shall remain without regret, and i've learned that love shall never step from strife I dislike choosing favorites To which all can now attest But with you all my behavior Succumbs to straying from the grave, and i like that the best Riding and pedaling into the sun Wanting for body and mind to be one I am looking for love Out of the forest, onto the street Needing for spirit and fortune to meet I am looking for love Either i will beware thee Or else, thou wilt prepare me For is this not the life i'm dreaming of?
