A Rose For Emily

(Rod Argent)

verse 1:

Though summer is here at last

The sky is overcast

And no one brings a rose for Emily

She watches her flowers grow

While lovers come and go

To give each other roses from her tree

But not a rose for Emily

Emily, can't you see there's nothing you can do

(Emily... see... how the sun is...)

There's loving everywhere but none for you

(...shining in the garden)

verse 2:

Her roses are faded now

She keeps her pride somehow

That's all she has protecting her from pain

And as the years go by

She will grow old and die

The roses in her garden fade away

Not one left for her grave

Not a rose for Emily

(repeat chorus)

(repeat verse 2)
