Faded Is The Crimson

Norah Jones/Bob Weir: It Must Have Been the Roses...8/11/12






one pane of glass
in the window
no one is complaining though
come in and shut the door
faded is the crimson
from the ribbons
that she wore
and it's strange how
no one comes round anymore
i don't know
it must have been the roses
the roses or the ribbons
in her long brown hair
i don't know
maybe it was the roses
all i know was
i could not leave her there
