with precious scents of summertime

the lightening bugs said you were mind

when i asked you to be kind

i found i had to wait in line





you told me tales of love gone wrong

but who were they to sing along

i know you only love her song

i knew you only love her song





i watched you roses fade away

the wings came off your back today

and i saw all the truth behind

the pretty pictures in my mind





your angels came a floating down

your halo it fell to the ground

the flies came swarming into town

and started circling round and round





there was a body lying there

whose it was i didn't care

the coffin lay up on the stair

the funeral it was common fare





i watched your roses fade away

the wings came off your back today

and i saw all the truth behind

the pretty pictures in my mind
