Lyrics
take the last of these roses hang them small and pretty on the vine tear em' by the roots from the walls where they climb for all time take the last of my money search the corners of my pockets for the change take my best take my worst take the blessings take the curse take my name let the stars in the sky fall by and by to the sea let the water rise up let the sun fall down on me 'cause you only stand up for so long stand up for so long so long that you're gone so long everything i have i borrowed i've worn this dress like my own shined my shoes every sunday as a child and now I'm grown so take the rings from my fingers take from my neck a silver chain take my future take my past when that sweet day is my last take my pain take my pain let the stars in the sky fall by and by to the sea let the water rise up let the sun fall down on me 'cause you only stand up for so long stand up for so long so long that you're gone so long take the last of these pictures take the nails from all the walls and all the frames take these memories from my mind flickering like candle flames
