The Last Petal On the Rose
When all else went to hell
And even he thought, he was too far gone
She found hope in desperation and she promised
She’d keep hanging on
What she sees in him he doesn’t know
Cause even he, can’t see it in himself
And the storms of life feeding him feels like
A bottomless well
The last petal on the rose
Wilts a little more everyday
But it somehow finds the faith to go on
While all others have gone away
The light of its love
Makes it feel more like a spray
The last petal on a rose bringing blue skies
To a world that’s turned gray
Any chance of getting sober
Found him guided, by the devils hands
If it weren’t for the love of a woman
He’d be eternally damned
The last petal on the rose
Wilts a little more everyday
But it somehow finds the faith to go on
While all others have gone away
The light of its love
Makes it feel more like a spray
The last petal on a rose bringing blue skies
To a world that’s turned gray
At his eulogy the only
Petal that was left on the rose
Laid beside him for she too had decided
It was her time to go
Wilted withered finally fallen
The last petal on the rose
