wild roses

2000-08, words & music by H. LANGE, CD: SWEAT (BM 0503)

SOME YEARS AGO IN A SUMMERNIGHT, I DROVE MY CAR AND THE RADIO PLAYED SONGS OF YESTERDAY, I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY
I STOPPED MY CAR IN FRONT OF A PUB, I ENTERED THE ROOM AND MY THOUGHTS WERE ALWAYS OF YESTERDAY, I KNEW I NEED A PLACE TO STAY

DO YOU REALLY THINK SO ? DON'T YOU REALLY WANNA GO ?

I HAD SOME DRINKS AND I TALKED TO THOSE VILLAGERS, WHO NEVER THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE THAN THEIR VALLEY, WHILE I WAS LOOKIN' FOR ANOTHER BELLY

WILD ROSES - I ALWAYS TRIED TO CATCH SOME BLOOM OF YOU
WILD ROSES - BUT I KNOW YOU ARE FADING LIKE I DO

I SAW THOSE GIRLS YOUNG AND PRETTY, THEY WERE IN LOVE AND I STROKED THEIR KITTIES, I HAD THOSE BODIES BUT NOW THEY ARE DUST
I ALWAYS LOOKED FOR SOME PRETTY FACES, FOR BODIES AND BELLIES, FOR SWEET SMELLS AND TASTES, I THOUGHT THESE THINGS COULD HOLD ME YOUNG, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE DONE, BUT NOW I HAVE TO USE MY SPANISH GUN

WILD ROSES - I ALWAYS TRIED TO CATCH SOME BLOOM OF YOU
WILD ROSES - BUT I KNOW YOU ARE FADING LIKE I DO
WILD ROSES - I ALWAYS TRIED TO CATCH SOME BLOOM OF YOU
WILD ROSES - BUT I KNOW YOU ARE FADING LIKE I DO
