The Pretenders Lyrics for Song: The English Roses
 Lyrics for Album: Original Album Series [2010]
 
 
 
 13936>Just before it rains
 
 The wind whips 'round the balcony
 
 And the sky closes
 
 On the English roses
 
 
 
 And she'll be pacin'
 
 'Round and 'round and
 
 'Round and 'round her room
 
 These storms always find here to remind her
 
 
 
 To the endless sky
 
 The pink over gray
 
 She looks for an answer
 
 But it's too late
 
 
 
 Maybe it's true
 
 Some things were just
 
 Never meant to be
 
 Maybe not
 
 
 
 This is a story
 
 Fruit cut from the vine
 
 Forgot and left to rot
 
 Long before it's time
 
 
 
 This is a story
 
 About the girl
 
 Who lived next door
 
 Looking for someone to hold
 
 
 
 A wish made on a star
 
 Brought her here tonight
 
 At a courtyard she waits
 
 A thousand broken dates
 
 
 
 But she holds the hymnal
 
 Where so carefully pressed
 
 Is the English rose
 
 She laid to rest
 
 
 
 It's only a story
 
 Flowers in full bloom
 
 Bouquets in every room
 
 
 
 This is a story
 
 Fruit cut from the vine
 
 Looking for someone to hold
 
 13936>
