Trim the Rose

This side of you is stranger but I'm offering my hand I did not know to reach now I'll try to understand And that's why we trim the rose to help it grow But you said honey could you take it if I would not let it go I'm only asking for your hand now darlin' don't you know And that's why we trim the rose to help it grow Is it you can't hear me or you don't know what to say Don't you know that if you'd tell me I'd spill myself away And that's why we trim the rose to help it grow So I broke our standing mirror and I did not tell you why It's 'cause I saw the tears coming and you don't like it when I cry So I've really done it now and you've had it up to here It's been three weeks now of silence only static through the hours No little house on prairie avenue they plowed down all our flowers
