ROSES AND RAIN
R. DAWSON & S. FINK

In your books I read your notes

You were so far away and so close

Precious lines fixed on the tin

See your shadow every now and then

From the shore you sailed away

You left me roses, I brought you rain

I brought you rain

 

Your slippers sit by the door

Your green chair, the carpet on the floor

Was it winter or summertime?

Hard to tell from the shadows and lines

The hues weren’t black and white

I would hold you close with all my might

With all my might


I make jigsaw puzzles out of wood

I keep the blade sharp to cut 'em true

I make jigsaw puzzles out of wood

When I sweep the dust up, I think of you

I think of you

You’d pick a petal, make a wish

Floating flowers in a shallow dish

At the factory you thought a lot

While their kilns would burn so hot

Dark-eyed Juncos a favorite bird

Oh yes you know I read your every word

Your every word

 

The rain quit came back home

You were getting tired of sailing alone

In your garden roses still bloom

You wanna dance, the devil’s in the room

I hope you’ll never say goodbye

I’ll hold you close with all my might

With all my might

I make jigsaw puzzles out of wood

I keep the blade sharp to cut 'em true

I make jigsaw puzzles out of wood

When I sweep the dust up, I think of you

I make jigsaw puzzles out of wood

I keep the blade sharp to cut 'em true

I make jigsaw puzzles out of wood

When I sweep the dust up, I think of you

I think of you
