Wilted Rose Lyrics

Wilted Rose lyrics

I almost cried on the day my country died

I almost tried to care

They built a wall to protect them from us all

We should have left them there



Revolution is the first to go

The rest is forced to stay



Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow

Can it be time to leave?



I spent my youth thinking people spoke the truth

Now, it's hard to think

Was I naive to say I do believe

That none of us should sink?



They sold us out and they sold us short

And we're the one's who'll have to pay



Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow

Can it be time to leave?



Don't go, you know it's all

The same to me these days

I swear it's hard to care



Revolution is the first to go

The rest is forced to stay



Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow

Can it be time to leave?



Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow

Can it be time to leave?



Don't go, you know it's all

The same to me these days

I swear it's hard to care
