Roses Were Redder Lyrics

The roses were redder, they blew their fragrance to me

And the sky was bluer than what it used to be

Maybe I dreamt all the flowers in bloom

Maybe I dreamt when they swept up the room

The garden's getting colder, the apples rotting they say

And the ocean's closing, it falls just further away

Maybe I dreamt how the world was ablaze

Maybe I woke up and crossed out the days

And the judge said, I've made my bed

The colors have faded, there's nothing verdant or nice

My paint's evaporated, peel off a couple of lies
