Show me where you keep all your secrets upstairs Night after night you sleep while they're setting off flares Someone came and took all the roses away Now you'll sit showing me tears if you want me to stay Cause down the street all the meters have run out of time, run out of time I waited for you as the trees swayed out of time In a crowded room I pick up your lonely stare I'll cover for you like a slipcover covers a chair But someone came and took all the roses away It was only 5 minutes but it felt like it stretched into a day Someone came and took all the roses away
