Lyrics

A Million Roses


Many days have passed
Since your trips to town and ice cream cones
Sunday rides to pick wild mustard greens
Playing Indians barefoot in the woods, eating melons off the vine
For the innocence you?ve left behind

CHORUS
One flower for every tear that you have cried
One for every shame, one for every scar
One flower for each and every cruel word
For your broken heart, for your broken heart
A million roses with your name would be a start, would be a start

Many days have passed since my big wheel made it down the drive
Making mud pies and selling lemon aide
Living in a house of fear, waking up to threats and lies
For the innocence that?s left behind

Repeat CHORUS

Many days have passed and we?ve moved on with our lives
Most days the pain is somehow well concealed
We live and love and lie and cry
And pray and grasp and heal
For the innocence we?ve left behind

Repeat CHORUS
