Laredo Rose
Laredo rose
Your garden has the scent
Of cheap perfume
The sun is a stranger to you
How's a rose suppose to bloom
Laredo rose
A rosery hangs from you bed post
A man you just met gets up
And stumbles putting on his cloths
As he walks away
You watch candle light play
On a photograph
A husband and a son
And a daughter
You bought her a dress today
And sent her my way
Laredo rose
Your garden has the scent
Of cheap perfume
The sun is a stranger to you
How's a rose suppose to bloom
Bridge
A couple bils on the dresser
A father confessing
Knows the wages of sin
Many times they've been paid
And as sure as night follows day
They'll be paid again
Till heaven knows
And heaven knows
Our lady looks donw
From a dotted wall
Uneven footsteps grow fainter
As they echo down the hall
Laredo rose
Your garden has the scent
Of cheap perfume
The sun is a stranger to you
How's a rose suppose to bloom
The sun is a stranger to you
How's a rose suppose to bloom
Fade Out
