Delicate roses
A blizzard is raging all around, frost biting our noses
I walked through the door. The place was warm and festive inside
It was in the window that I saw those beautiful roses
That brought to my mind the warmth of long-forgotten Julies
It was in the window that I saw those beautiful roses
That brought to my mind the warmth of long-forgotten Julies
Delicate roses, delicate roses,
Tender petals of white
Winters to frost and snow will expose
Them for somebody’s delight
People will keep them as decorations
For a couple of days
Leaving them stranded there
In a frosted window to wither away.
But muffled-up people rushing by may not even notice
As New Year’s Eve parties in their homes await their return
Who’s ever come up with this idea, oh, pitiful roses
Of growing you now when nights are long and blizzards so stern
Who’s ever come up with this idea, oh, pitiful roses
Of growing you now when nights are long and blizzards so stern
Delicate roses, delicate roses,
Tender petals of white
Winters to frost and snow will expose
Them for somebody’s delight
People will keep them as decorations
For a couple of days
Leaving them stranded there
In a frosted window to wither away.
