Terra Lightfoot - Ramblin' Rose Lyrics

You grew up like a flower in the wrong place
And all could see the beauty of your rose
But the autumn browned its leaves
And the petals fell to pieces
They were shiverin' in between two sidewalk stones

Time has let those petals wash away
And now I know what you were trying to say

So I'll let you go as long as you are leaving
I'll stay with you as long as you have left
When it comes to your time
No reason and no rhyme
I know that I won't find you here again
I know that I won't find you here again

I was Mississippi-bound, hell-bent on leavin'
I was cryin' tears I prayed you'd never see
For all our seasons lost, all the courage in your blood
Oh, you couldn't see past living without me

Time has never offered guarantees
The more I carry on, the less I need

So I'll let you go as long as you are leaving
I'll stay with you as long as you have left
When it comes to your time
No reason and no rhyme
I know that I won't find you here again
I know that I won't find you here again
