Roses & Cigarettes Lyrics by Katey Sagal

Covered

2013

Plastered in your newspaper palace
Dishes and the backdoor slams
The dogs on your floor
They don't roam anymore
And the river's gone deaf at the dam
The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps
Chokes you when you lift your rake
You know wine so sweet as the taste of your mouth
Your love ain't the kind you can keep
Oh roses and cigarettes
A pillow case that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
I've seen how you look at the stranger
I see how you wait when shе's gone
I told you I thought that there was sin in your hеart
Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong?
Oh roses and cigarettes
A pillowcase that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again
She tells you that she needs you, she's a liar
She tells you she's a hero, she's a fool
She tells you she'll stay till the lord's breaking day
Then baby she ain't nothing but cruel
Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
