Yellow Roses Lyrics

Ry Cooder Yellow Roses

(K. Devine, S. Nichols)
I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses
You tell me that they mean that we are through
You tell me that tonight your heart is broken
But you should know I was never untrue
I'll place that in my photograph and when the shadows fall
They'll hide from you my lonely tears that shouldn't fall at all
Then they will slowly fade away and die
But I still love you though yellow roses say goodbye
