Lyrics

When the Roses Run Dry (for George)

The honeymoon, the honeymoon,
all waters part for the honeymoon
And every time we touch we shake,
an hour apart, my psyche aches for you
Now there's nothing wrong with the honeymoon,
you feel so great, but slowly, soon
Reality will creep back in and all those fires quickly dim and cool

Life in the clouds, it's addictive, it's insane
Forget the whos the whys the weights
the due dates for a change

But when love is not new
When moonshine is only moonshine
When I have traveled every inch of you
Where will we be
When the roses run dry?

Now on our first night you were late,
so I sat, picturing your face
And wond'ring how the date would go,
and you walked in and I said Oh yeah!
And you confided all your plans,
and I watched how you used your hands
And how your hair fell 'round your head,
(I barely heard a word you said in there)

But after the wine and those cute little boxes from Godiva
Will this still be right when we're sixty-five oh

When love is not new
When moonshine is only moonshine
When I have traveled every inch of you
Where will we be
When the roses run dry

From the clouds on down
I'm losing my fears
Because the smoke's cleared
And we're still here

Now I don't want no picket fence,
no garden path to the picket fence
No sweaters knitting by the fire,
two hobbits in their little shire, No.
But I'm starting to think that we can deal
with anything we face in our real
Life together as a team, a locomotive with steam so

Life in the clouds has come to earth and settled in
So bring me old and gray - I'm ready to begin

But when love is not new
When moonshine is only moonshine
When I have traveled every inch of you
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be
When the roses run dry
