The old house stands deserted

Crumbling and decaying

Its broken windows watching

As a young child wanders

In amongst the roses

Overgrown and falling

The garden once was cared for

Life is like the garden

[Verse 2]

The roses reach to touch her

They whisper as she passes

G A Am

Their petals form a carpet

Soft and warm and scented

In amongst the roses

G A Am

Full in bloom and fading

The young child cannot hear them

G A Em A C F Em

Life is like the young child

[Verse 3]

The young child has been gathering

Flowers for her mother

In amongst the roses

She is gathering wildflowers

The roses bend to kiss her

Life is like the roses

[Verse 4]

The old house stands deserted

Crumbling and decaying
