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
