Where Red Roses Fall (live 11-14-98)

(Rob Christensen)
Sometimes these things happen
It's a lying, waking dream
She's sparkling in her innocence
Some things aren't as they seem.

She drives a little I-don't-know-what
She drives too fast 'round curves
She’s driving me a little bit crazy right now
I guess you get what you deserve.

I'm always waiting for her call
I'm a sucker for a knuckleball
I can always be found where red roses fall.

She takes me to the deep end
And tries to make me swim
She leaves me all alone, all alone out there
And I'm just sinking in.

Times like this I climb the walls
Soaking in distress and alcohol.
I'm always waiting for her call
I'm a sucker for a knuckleball
I can always be found where red roses fall.

She won't let me in. She doesn't kick me out
She wants to be my friend. She wants me to go without.

She won't let anything affect her
She has so much effect on me.
She's steady in her march toward something.
Just like I should be.

Times like this I climb the walls
Soaking in distress and alcohol.
I'm always waiting for her call
I'm a sucker for a knuckleball
I can always be found where red roses fall.
Yeah, I can always be found where red roses fall.
