Graham Parker Long Stem Rose Lyrics:
E C#m F#m B
My long stem rose won't sit on the mantelpiece
E C#m F#m B
she's not disposed to being one of a dozen she's
E A
a living thing that's bound to get tired
B E A C#m
she won't be content just being admired
funny thats the way it goes
C#m B E
when you're like a long stem rose

my long stem rose were you cut down in your prime
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/Zo7 ]
my love still grows for the flower I call mine
are you doomed to die after the spring time
have I just become a thorn in your side
funny that's the way it goes when
you love a long stem rose

strings over verse

My long stem rose I know you won't last too long
You'll shed your clothes your
petals fall then you're gone
in another garden growing so
sweetly in an endless summer
forgetting about mewonder where you are who knows
in another bed I suppose, lying like a long stem rose

my long stem rose .....
