  1. A Dozen Roses

From the recording Love & Persistence

Lyrics

Dozen Roses
You know that old rose bush
we left tattered and torn?
We were careless with it baby
‘till all was left was the thorns.
And I would have said
there was nothing good left to keep
But that old rose bush was strong
and the roots they were deep.

So walk with me baby Out past the garden row
There are two new branches Where a dozen roses grow,
I nearly missed it but I think you’d want you to know,
there are two new branches where a dozen roses grow.

It was a long, cold winter
filled with darkness and doubt.
We took the love the good Lord gave us
and turned it inside out.
And I would have said
that we’d a seen our best days,
but little by little baby
and come what may.

So walk with me baby, out past the garden row.
There are two new branches where a dozen roses grow,
I nearly missed it but I think you’d want you to know,
there are two new branches where a dozen roses grow.

Now the whole world is blooming
just like it does every spring
Let’s plant us some seeds and seed what it brings.

So walk with me baby…
