Lyrics The Trews – 65 Roses

We were singing
And folks were dancing
The good times always flow, before and after show
There was no way of knowing

Poetry and prose
65 Roses
That’s the way it goes
We were all too close
It was right under our noses

Well I got the news today; you’re already on your way
You can borrow time, but you still run out of days
You can double down, time and time again
But the odds are in the favour of the house, and the time has come my friend

I cannot swim the ocean wide
And nor do I have wings to fly
Just light my way, when it’s my time
Cause there’s a new star in the sky

Something we can treasure
For now if not forever
You said you made your peace, you’re ready for release
If it don’t get any better

But I just can’t abide it
I can’t believe it as I write it
As hearts begin to sink, let’s raise another drink
‘Cause there ain’t no use to fight it

I cannot swim the ocean wide
And nor do I have wings to fly
Just light my way, when it’s my time
Cause there’s a new star in the sky
There’s a new star in the sky

Well I got the news today, you’re already on your way
You can borrow time, but you still run out of days
You can double down, time and time again
But the odds are in the favour of the house, and the time has come my friend

I cannot swim the ocean wide
And nor do I have wings to fly
Just light my way, when it’s my time
Cause there’s a new star in the sky

I cannot swim the ocean wide
And nor do I have wings to fly
Just light my way, when it’s my time
Cause there’s a new star in the sky
There’s a new star in the sky
There’s a new star in the sky
There’s a new star in the sky

As steady as she goes
65 Roses
