Long Stem Rose Lyrics by Graham Parker

Long Stem Rose Lyrics

    pre>e c#m f#m b
    My long stem rose won't sit on the mantelpiece
    E c#m f#m b
    She's not disposed to being one of a dozen she's
    E a
    A living thing that's bound to get tired
    B e a c#m
    She won't be content just being admired funny thats the way it goes
    C#m b e
    When you're like a long stem rose

    My long stem rose were you cut down in your prime
    My love still grows for the flower i call mine
    Are you doomed to die after the spring time
    Have i just become a thorn in your side
    Funny that's the way it goes when you love a long stem rose

    Strings over verse

    My long stem rose i know you won't last too long
    You'll shed your clothes your petals fall then you're gone
    In another garden growing so sweetly in an endless summer
    Forgetting about me wonder where you are who knows
    In another bed i suppose, lying like a long stem rose

    My long stem rose ..... /pre>
