From the recording Thank You Mark
Lyrics
Roses From LeRoy’s
Words and Melody Danielle Howle
Music Mark Bryan
I got your roses from Leroy’s
The shop delivers to your door
I got your roses with a card
That I can’t read or feed the yard
Bad news comes so beautiful
I got your number by the phone
For emergencies and so on
I got a phonebook of this town
So I can catch you running round
Bad news comes so beautiful
Oh you’re still collecting “wows”
From those tacky bar room prowls
They love your money- I’m at home
Ain’t it terrible to know
Bad news comes so beautiful
I got your roses getting old
The water’s grey and full of mold
I got your roses every face
Just playing dead and looking great
Old news shadows beautiful
I got your number from now on
No more worries when you’re gone
There’s a garden in my soul
That will always keep me whole
Life is just so beautiful
No our children won’t be scarred
They know exactly who they are
How many families will you make
Just send roses walk away
One day you’ll wake up all alone
Ain’t it terrible to know
Bad news comes so beautiful
So, so so, so- so so so so –I so so so so so.
