Some water spills
On to the ground around the well
Send that bucket down
Water Spills like blood
Blood from my heart
Seeps in to the roots
The roots of the rose bush
Smells so sweet
Can be sickening
I keep a good house
Put good food on the table
White lights in December
Fresh fruit from the garden
But our home was not enough
You wanted something sexy
Like red roses in the summer
A girl so sweet
Some secret adventure
I shut the door, door, door,
And I told you
to go fetch me some water
send that bucket down, down, down,
Spill it all, all, all
Let me be your bartender
Tell me all the things you
Don't want me to know, know, know
Sip this elixer
So sweet it can be sickening.
Now can you remember?
The roots of the rose bush?
Planted so long, long, ago?
Can you remember. . .
