All the roses
Light the sage
Throw the linens across the bed
Say a prayer
You look good dead
All of the roses
Thrown away
All of the roses
That reminded me of the love
I once had for you
All the roses
Arranged around the heart
They remind me that you
Were my favorite piece of art
Pages stained with dust and old words
Showing our adoration
All of the roses
Light the sage
Bless your soul
Open the window
All of the roses
I’ll remember you…
It's about the old ritual of a wake.
