Rain for the Roses

歌詞

It's ninety eight in the shade Mr. Rose is rolling hay Eighty acres down and ten to go Clouds are building in the south He knows times a running out And there goes that tractor's radiator hose There ain't no tricks in his straw hat He walks a quarter mile back Ms. Rose hears him slam that old screen door What he sees as wasted time Is a blessing in disguise Oh he's cussing what she's been praying for The day turned dark as night And in her eyes he saw the light He hadn't taken the time to notice From heaven it poured down On that little old farm house Lord knows what to do when love needs time for growing He sends rain for the Roses She pulled down the window blinds Even though the sun wadn't shining The rain tapped out a love song on that old tin roof Wrapped up in the covers They held on to eachother Like new lovers on their honeymoon The day turned dark as night And in her eyes he saw the light He hadn't taken the time to notice From heaven it poured down On that little old farm house Lord knows what to do when love needs time for growing He sends rain for the Roses Lord knows what to do when love needs time for growing He sends rain (backup) The lord sends rain For the Roses
