ROSEBUD (copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP The snow is falling on the windowsill and you keep staring at the floor until I put my arm around you by the door and say "I'm not the one they're looking for." But you merely push my arm away you never listen to a word a I say you say "I guess that makes me one of them" as you pick up the rose and cut the stem Your coat is long enough to touch the floor I see it sway as you fly out the door the coffee stains stare at me from the tile the rose will start to wilt after a while I think that I must be asleep by now I know I'll get up, but I don't know how but one thing that I never thought before: I love the way those petals look on the floor 01/2000 back to home page Copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP.
