Garden Paroles

too much sunshine gonna make you dry
too much sunshine gonna take your life
i'd be your gardener if that'd be all right
i'd save the roses in a vase outside

you know i think i heard before
that every rose wants something more
and if you bear your teeth you know they'll bear their thorns
it's best you leave them roses alone

i guess i'd kiss you but i'm just too tired
why not sit here
we'll just talk for a while
i'll light a cigarette
we'll sit down by the fire
just like roses in a vase outside

you're my garden and you've always been
i can't think straight so let's just be friends
i've been known to let the time slip by
wilting roses in the vase outside
