Long stem rose — текст песни (Graham Parker)

E C#m F#m B
My long stem rose won`t sit on the mantelpiece
E C#m F#m B
she`s not disposed to being one of a dozen she`s
E A
a living thing that`s bound to get tired
B E A C#m
she won`t be content just being admired funny thats the way it goes
C#m B E
when you`re like a long stem rose

my long stem rose were you cut down in your prime
my love still grows for the flower I call mine
are you doomed to die after the spring time 
have I just become a thorn in your side 
funny that`s the way it goes when you love a long stem rose 

strings over verse

My long stem rose I know you won`t last too long 
You`ll shed your clothes your petals fall then you`re gone
in another garden growing so sweetly in an endless summer
forgetting about mewonder where you are who knows
in another bed I suppose, lying like a long stem rose

my long stem rose .....
