Yesterday’s Rose

Description

They once lit darkness and reached mountain tops,
but sunset rolled in when father time knocked.
They’re the forgotten, the broken heroes,
whose blossoms have faded like yesterday’s rose.

Like Yesterday’s Rose.
Like Yesterday’s Rose.

She once wore glitter and he hit home runs
and life was handed to the lucky ones.
Champagne and fast cars, one day their doors close,
and a wall of taillights greet yesterday’s rose.

Greet Yesterday’s Rose.
Greet Yesterday’s Rose.

Then we ignore them and murder their past.
It’s how we reward them for goin’ so fast.
Their dreams long over draped in shadows
of afternoon glory, like yesterday’s rose.

Like Yesterday’s Rose.
Like Yesterday’s Rose.

Yesterday’s rose in a garden of weeds, all alone.
Abandoned and shunned, no water no sun, in need of someone.

So walk softly through gardens grown cold
that ever remind you of yesterday’s rose.

Of Yesterday’s Rose.
Of Yesterday’s Rose.

They’re Yesterday’s Rose.
They’re Yesterday’s Rose.
They’re Yesterday’s Rose.
They’re Yesterday’s Rose.
They’re Yesterday’s Rose.
They’re Yesterday’s Rose.
