Smithereens~~Blood and Roses







--------------------Lyrics-----------------------------------

It was long ago.

It seems like yesterday.

I saw you standing in the rain,

Then I heard you say,



"I want to love, but it comes out wrong.

I want to live, but I don't belong."

I close my eyes and I see

Blood and roses.



I brought flowers in the springtime.

October, we were wed.

In winter time, the roses died.

Her blood ran cold, and then she said,



"I want to love, but it comes out wrong.

I want to live, but I don't belong."

I close my eyes and I see

Blood and roses.



It was long ago.

It seems like yesterday.

I saw you standing in the rain,

Then I heard you say,



"I need your love, but it comes out wrong.

I've tried to live, but I don't belong."

I close my eyes and I see

Blood and roses.

Smithereens~~Behind the Wall of Sleep







-----------------------Lyrics--------------------------------

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965

She had legs that never ended

I was halfway paralyzed

She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal

If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul



Now I lie in bed and think of her

Sometimes I even weep,

Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep



Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band

And she stood just like Bill Wyman

Now I am her biggest fan

Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend

And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them



Now I lie in bed and think of her

Sometimes I even weep,

Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep



Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town

Called you up to have a drink,

Your roommate said you weren't around

Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend

And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them



Now I lie in bed and think of her

Sometimes I even weep,

Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep

Behind the wall of sleep

Behind the wall of sleep

Behind the wall of sleep
