In Amongst The Roses

[Verse 1]
              G           A    Am
The old house stands deserted
                Em
Crumbling and decaying
           G            A    Am
Its broken windows watching
                 Em        Am
As a young child wanders
               Em
In amongst the roses
    G             A    Am
Overgrown and falling
                    Em
The garden once was cared for
        G           A    Em  A  
Life is like the garden

[Verse 2]
          G              A    Am
The roses reach to touch her
                    Em
They whisper as she passes

             G         A    Am
Their petals form a carpet
                 Em        Am
Soft and warm and scented
               Em
In amongst the roses
        G            A    Am
Full in bloom and fading
                       Em
The young child cannot hear them
        G              A      Em  
Life is like the young child

The young child has been gathering

Flowers for her mother
        G          A    Am
Flowers for her bedside
                Em     Am
Flowers for her table
               Em
In amongst the roses
       G             A    Am
She is gathering wildflowers
                  Em
The roses bend to kiss her
        G          A    Em  A  C
Life is like the roses
