Rose Merchant Blues

[Verse] Down the alleyway so dark Pedals in my hand Selling roses till I break In this lonely land [Verse 2] Wind blows whispers in the night Streets don't understand Why I sell these blooms of fight To strangers hand in hand [Chorus] Roses red and roses blue On the corner selling truth Pedals tired walk this path Lonely merchant blues at last [Verse 3] I see eyes that never smile On that crowded street Searching faces for a while Till our glances meet [Verse 4] Trade a rose for just a dime Hope in hearts I find Underneath the moon's own shine Love in petals bind [Chorus] Roses red and roses blue On the corner selling truth Pedals tired walk this path Lonely merchant blues at last
