|
I worked hard for that rose
|
You may have it when you go
|
'Cause it's the dreaming it lends
|
Worth holding here
|
And when the outbound lane brings me trouble again
|
If my heart's in the wind
|
I wanna hold it near
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Don't say no, it's not part of this show
|
When the lights were down low
|
Your eyes were closing too
|
Now the bar is closing
|
I can leave here knowing
|
That the dreams are still growing
|
As long as you're holding that rose
|
|
My pockets are clean
|
Though they're empty half the time
|
I spend my half times in dreamin'
|
Least I ain't wastin' lines
|
And the boys that I know, Lord their questions get old
|
'Cause it's the boys who ask questions
|
& the Man who knows
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Take care of that rose, it's my dreams that you're holdin'
|
When you hold that rose
|
