The Seldom Seen Kid - elbow

The roses are heavy

With rain and for ages

They’ll have to veil

And the pictures are whispering

The ones we belong to

Caught in forever

Startled and proud

All laughing together

And babe, if you’d met him

I picture you’d sit

Lost in my wisdom

With two barrelled wings

Then he’d steal you for dancing

And you’d lend him your arms

And I’d stooge for your laughing

And you’d swirl in the chaos of joy

The roses are heavy

With rain and for ages

They’ll have to veil

And the pictures are whispering

He’d steal you for dancing

And you’d lend him your arms

And I’d stooge for your laughing

And you’d swirl in the chaos of joy
