Stephin Merritt - Plant White Roses lyrics

When I poured my heart out, blood flowed I planted you, watered you with tears And watched you grow away from me So much for my green thumb I've overstayed my welcome Plant white roses and plan to cry If I can't spend my life with you Plant white roses, I wanna die If I can't spend my life with you When you're gone I stumble and fall I'm told you don't wanna stay around Those trains call -- you're all I need But you need more than country songs You need to be getting along Plant white roses and plan to cry If I can't spend my life with you Plant white roses, I wanna die If I can't spend my life with you You'll have to stay You'll have to stay and watch them grow You'll have to stay You'll have to stay and watch them grow You'll have to stay You'll have to stay and watch them grow Plant white roses and plan to cry If I can't spend my life with you Plant white roses, I wanna die If I can't spend my life with you My life with you My life with you
