I brought the roses in hopes that you knew
Just what I'd go through to hold you in this afternoon
So when I pull the shades down and let the candles have their way
Well, could it cover the smell from the back side of hell
where they laid you yesterday?
Oh, my pretty baby
Oh, she isn't ready
She is not ready to leave...
(take one more breath)
To tell me you will stay just as beautiful
When I see you again at the bend on the other side
Your lack of eyes gives away the way the light shone down on us that day
It was the day that we met, only fools could forget
I haven't yet
I'll never forget
I'll never forget you (were)
Oh, my pretty baby
Oh, well you were not ready
Oh, my pretty baby
You are not ready
Until you lay your head on me in sweet sleep
til
Oh, are you ready for nothing?
Yeah Oh, well isn't it something?
Yeah isn't it something?
To lay your head on me
Just lay your head to sleep, sweetly
I'm getting old and I know it ain't right
But what I know is you won't
But we'll stay here tonight.
Yeah
