I give you twelve roses, you show me the stem you just pretend I give you twelve matches, you show me some bark It's not from your heart If she was a psychic there's no way I'd risk it with my future If she was a general I'd charge her with treason
'Cause a weeping willow is falling with grace Falling with grace
I show you the river, you show me the stream You just act the scene But if I gave you nothing you'd show me the door so I give you some more If she was a broker there's no way I'd trust her with my future If she was a general I'd charge her with treason
Come brothers to Babylon We'll all go marching on and love for all time Weak talking man you'll find no more, no more So carry your future strong If you don't play along love for all time
Weak talking man you'll find no more, no more
Oh yeah
I give you twelve roses, you show me the stem
You just pretend
I give you twelve matches, you show me some bark
It's not from your heart
If she was a psychic there's no way I'd risk it with my future
If she was a general i'd charge her with treason
But a weeping willow is rising with grace Rising with grace Rising with grace
