Intro verse 1 Your father sat with the night's first drink Your mother washed the dishes in the sink You stood on the steps, wearing your best One red rose on a new black dress verse 2 When we walked under the powerlines I dreamed about it a thousand times You weren't like the rest One red rose on a new black dress Chorus One red rose on a new black dress Crushing it between our chests Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be One dead rose is all I see verse 3 We hid in the weeds and we hid in the grass Listening to the cars on the highway pass Then you put me to the test One red rose on a new black dress Instrumental Chorus One red rose on a new black dress Crushing it between our chests Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be One dead rose is all I see verse 4 Then you said we could never come back And walked awax through the housing tract Leaving me with what's left One red rose from a new black dress Chorus One red rose on a new black dress Crushing it between our chests Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be One dead rose is all I see Outro
