Roses

Liner Notes
This just occurred to me this afternoon, it's a new thing based on a moment out of Barkeep. Hopefully it is modestly amusing.
Lyrics
Thank you for feeding the roses While I was called out of town Bonemeal and blood Patience and love The roses get so hungry now
Thank you for sleeping in my bed Far from the maddening crowd Quiet and still By the old mill The crowns of the willows all bowed
You, me and the roses We while away the hours Or it's me, the thorns and the roses Then just the flowers
Thank you for feeding the roses While I was buying her ring Petals of red Like tears that it shed A rose is a greedy old thing
You, me and the roses We while away the hours Or it's me, the thorns and the roses Then just the flowers
Then not even the flowers Cos nothing is ours

A brilliant piece. So lovely to hear you play your guitar. I stand by my declaration, yes a declaration, that you are a talented guitar player. I’ve heard enough self deprecation from you on this topic…No more I say. But yes to more guitar songs from you…You hear me (please nod approvingly)?
Wonderful vocals and word choices. Although I do laugh reading DT’s comments about their meaning.

Always love me an oblique Hardy reference. I found myself trying to work out the meaning, but have to admit I've failed. That final 'Cos nothing is ours' feels very meaningful though. Love the gentle pluck and strum, and your vocal's great on this one. Also made me nostalgic for our Rotten Roses collab from a couple of years back. I should dig that out for a listen too ;)
