Red Rose on the Road

At sundown in the city

With gravel thick and gritty

You see three red roses on the road

One of em crushed but not so dirty

Now you may ask yourself

How can three red roses be on the road

Did they fall off a flower truck during a load

Or did kids throw it out the window like yesterdays trash

Or maybe just maybe

If you wanna go that deep

Those roses may have belonged to somebody

Who had love that was thrown to the street

Now red roses we all know

Carry feelings we mostly tow

Joy from its smell

Love from its beauty

Devotion from its gift

Pain from its bush

Those are the feelings when you see

red roses of three

You never know what they mean

But you only know what you think

When you see three red roses

On gravel thick and gritty

In a sundown city

With river flowing feelings
