lyrics

Pick a color, name it rose
drop a seed, and there it grows.
His favorite it was until one day
on top of that rose he laid.

Dirty thorns bit into his skin
and woke him up to that bottle of gin.
He worked all day to set it up right,
but on his knees he wept all night.

Who's that walkin up the road I see,
is it you, is it you?
Whisper not for I cannot speak
to you.

The next morning he finds a bag
full of the seeds he wished he had.
The second time around he knows
he ought to take good care of this rose.

Feed it water, give it light
toss that bottle, get rid of your knife.
Watch it grow into the land
while you shake old Vincent's hand.

Hello Vincent, it's been a long time,
weeks and years and dollars and dimes.
But we pushed off too long I'd say,
like a Christmas tree up until April or May.

Sorry about ignoring you,
sorry for the things that I let you do.
But it's okay, I'm here again.
Good to see you my old friend.

Who's that walkin up the road I see,
is it you, is it you?
Whisper not for I cannot speak
to you.
