Artist: the zombies
Song: a rose for emily
Album: Live at the Bloomsbury Theatre London
Year: 2007
The summer is here at last
The sky is overcast
And no one brings a rose for Emily
She watches her flowers grow
While lovers come and go
To give each other roses from her tree
But not a rose for Emily
Emily (Emily), can't you see?
There's nothing you can do (how the sun is shining)
There's loving everywhere but none for you
Her roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain
And as the years go by,
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for Emily
Emily (Emily), can't you see?
There's nothing you can do (How the sun is shining)
There's loving everywhere
But none for you
Her roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain
And as the years go by,
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for Emily
