lirik lagu charlie parr - roses while i'm living
[verse 1]
what care i for the purest white rose
placed in my cold, stiff hand?
what care i for the words of praise
when i can’t understand?
[chorus]
when i can’t understand, oh love
when i can’t understand
what care i for the words of praise
when i can’t understand?
[verse 2]
i care not for the heaping wreaths
upon my sacred mound
i cannot scent the fragrant sweet
when i’m beneath the ground
[chorus]
when i’m beneath the ground, oh love
when i’m beneath the ground
i cannot scent the fragrant sweet
when i’m beneath the ground
[verse 3]
what good will the veranda do
above my lifeless form?
when i am anchored in the veil
safe, sheltered from the storm
[verse 4]
oh, give to me my roses now
kind words of love i crave
wait not ’til death has taken me
and i am in my grave
[chorus]
and i am in my grave, oh love
and i am in my grave
wait not ’til death has taken me
and i am in my grave
[verse 5]
beyond the lowest solitude
i hope to find sweet rest
pick now the words of comfort
and calm my troubled breast
[verse 6]
wait not ’til death has taken me
alas, it’ll be too late
for i will not need your songs of praise
when i’m once beyond the grave
[chorus]
when i’m once beyond the grave, oh love
when i’m once beyond the grave
i will not need your songs of praise
when i’m once beyond the grave
[verse 1]
what care i for the purest white rose
placed in my cold, stiff hand?
what care i for the words of praise
when i can’t understand?
