With precious scents of summertime
The lightning bugs said you were mine
When I asked you to be kind
I found I had to wait in line
You told me tales of love gone wrong
But you were paid to sing along
I knew the only lover's song
I knew the only lover's song
I watched your roses fade away
The wings came off your back today
And I saw all the truth behind
The pretty pictures in my mind
Your angel came a-floatin' down
Your halo, it fell to the the ground
The flies swarming into town
And starting circling 'round and 'round
There was a body lying there
And whose it was I didn't care
The prophet lay upon the stair
The funeral was common fare
I watched your roses fade away
The wings came off your back today
And I saw all the truth behind
The pretty pictures in my mind
