wrinkles & roses

wrinkles & roses
old doe-si-doesiz
truths & lies
good byes
& good try's

wrinkles on my face
make me face
the fact
gettin'n old
ain't no act
make me face
the fact
you ain't comin' back

roses remind me of you
i remember a love that was true
but roses wither & die
without care
the roses ain't there
rose pettles fall ta' the wind
the blossoms end
ever ask a rose bush...
"why did ya' die?"
good try

but the wrinkles remain
they're still the same
only more
weathered with time
weathered with pain
wrinkles are there
'till you die
only the wrinkle's & you
know why

wrinkles & roses
they don't rhyme
love & goodbye
good try


try your best
forget all the rest
roses & doe-si-dosiz
the pass away

but the wrinkles you earn
they'll always stay
