Bilingual
Plastered in your newspaper palace
Dishes and the backdoor slams
The dogs on your floor
They don't roam anymore
And the rivers gone deaf at the dam
The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps
Chokes you when you lift your rake
A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth
But your love ain't the kind you can keep
Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillow case that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
'Til I think I might go insane
When will I see you again?
Seen how you look at the stranger
I've seen how you wait when he's gone
If I told you I thought there was a sin in your heart
Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong?
Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
'Til I think I might go insane
When will I see you again?
He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar
He tells you he's a hero, he's a fool
He tells you he'll stay 'til the Lord's breaking day
Then babe, he ain't nothing but cruel
Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
The scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
'Til I think I might go insane
When will I see you again?
