Thea Gilmore - Throw The Bouquet lyrics

One of these days, now One of these days You'll be cracking a grin when they tell you The ashes come after the flames ‘Cause I've been counting the minutes Until it all fades to grey One of these days, now They're gonna throw the bouquet Well I've been where you're standing Yeah, I've been there too long I been there at the start of the picture And there at the end of the bad song Where the door has stopped swinging And the steel meets the rain I've been where you're standing Saw them throw the bouquet Me and my old conceits And them and their faint praise Livin' off sweet deceits And shadows to chase Oh, it's rising up slowly Yeah, they're building it high Up where the sickly storms of applause Will puncture the sky And ‘cause the party is over The dress is already stained So take cover children While they throw the bouquet Take cover children They're gonna throw the bouquet
