verse 1: Though 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 Chorus: Emily, can't you see there's nothing you can do (Emily... see... how the sun is...) There's loving everywhere but none for you (...shining in the garden) verse 2: Her roses are faded 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 (repeat Chorus) (repeat verse 2) outro: / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
