A Simple Rose

     Words and Music: Anne-Marie Fraser, Gary Clute

[Instrumental]

It’s later in the evening that I get time to myself

I sit out on the back porch, make myself a brew.

I make plans for tomorrow – who I’m seeing, what I’ll do

Or sometimes I just sit, often times I’ll sit,

Sometimes I will sit and think of you.

[CHORUS]

Just a simple rose

Left where I would find it

I knew that it was meant for me

The minute that I spied it.

And all my good intentions

They just fall like dominoes

All because of that one, simple rose.

[Verse]

You said you’d make it easy to forget you when you left

I didn’t need the extra complication in my life.

Along with the heartache, the lovin’ and the kissing

I was missing all the flavour, and the sweetest things to savour

I was missin’ all the flavour and the spice.

[Chorus]

Just a simple rose

Left where I would find it

I knew that it was meant for me

The minute that I spied it.

And all my good intentions

They just fall like dominoes

All because of that one, simple rose.

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

That love is still alive in me and every day it grows.

You told me all I need to know

With just a simple rose.

[Verse]

I said I’d never take you back – too many hard words said

I’d try to find a better, brighter, straighter road ahead.

But you are hard-wired to my soul and everything I do.

I guess you maybe still feel the same way too.

[Chorus]

 Just a simple rose

Left where I would find it

I knew that it was meant for me

The minute that I spied it.

And all my good intentions

They just fall like dominoes

All because of that one, simple rose.

[Instrumental]
