Ragweed Rose by The Giving Tree Band Lyrics

Ragweed Rose loves the spirits and the "hear-its"
Like the "he said, she said, sign of the times" and "things to come"
She would stay up all night drinking wrongs right
Sipping elderberry wine 'til the dawn's early light

She would walk the streets calling out for me
But her old man's a better man than I could ever be
She would walk a moonless mile just to see me smile
Then take the train back home again and love him for a while

Ragweed Rose won't you come to me
She can't be mine, but she can't be free
So go on back home, baby
Or be alone, baby
She only loves me when I'm gone

In the spring, we'd climb the hills and watch the wildflowers grow
And Rose would love me more than I would ever know
She would dance among the pines with the flowers in her hair
And it would seem that life would not make fools of us again
I went back to see her but the hills had turned to gold
The sky had turned to silver and Rose had grown old
And the years had been so kind to Rose's peace of mind
Loving things is easy but the time is hard to find
