Trouble With Roses — текст песни (Nanci Griffith)

I worked hard for that rose
You may have it when you go
`Cause it`s the dreaming it lends
worth holding here
And when the outbound lane brings me trouble again
if my heart`s in the wind
I wanna hold it near

(chorus)
Don`t say no, it`s not part of this show
When the lights were down low
Your eyes were closing too
Now the bar is closing
I can leave here knowing
That the dreams are still growing
As long as you`re holding that rose
My pockets are clean
Though they`re empty half the time
I spend my half times in dreamin`
Least I ain`t wastin` lines
And the boys that I know, Lord their questions get old
`Cause it`s the boys who ask questions
& the Man who knows

(repeat chorus)

Take care of that rose, it`s my dreams that you`re holdin`
When you hold that rose
