You Can’t Go Where the Roses Go lyrics
by Marianne Faithfull
[Verse 1]
Today, I saw the roses die
The ones that we picked out
And I turned around to cry
I could not help myself
[Chorus]
I know where the roses go
Who do what they should do
And baby, you won't go where the roses go
If you can't be true
[Verse 2]
Today, I saw the roses die
The ones that we picked out
As I stood there I could see
I could not help them now
[Chorus]
I know where the roses go
Who do what they should do
And baby, you won't go where the roses go
If you can't be true
[Bridge]
Don't you want to walk where the flowers play
Beneath the sky of gold
Where the little white doves fly by the hour
Singing our love will never grow cold?
[Verse 3]
Oh, today I saw the roses die
The ones that we picked out
And I hoped that you could tell
What it was all about
[Chorus]
I know where the roses go
Who do what they should do
And baby, you won't go where the roses go
If you can't be true
[Outro]
You won't go there
If you can't be true
You can't go there
If you can't be true
You won't go there
If you can't be true
