Stephin Merritt - Plant White Roses Lyrics

When I pour my heart out love flow
I planted you, watered you tears
And watched you grow away from me
So much for my green
I've overstayed my welcome

Plant white roses and plan to cry
If I can't spend my life with you
Plant white roses, I wanna die
If I can't spend my life with you, my life with you

When you're gone I stumble and fall
I talk, you don't wanna stay around
Those strains call, you're all I need
But you need more than country songs
You need to be getting along

Plant white roses and plan to cry
If I can't spend my life with you
Plant white roses, I wanna die
If I can't spend my life with you, my life with you

You'll have to stay
You'll have to stay and watch them grow
You'll have to stay
You'll have to stay and watch them grow
You'll have to stay
You'll have to stay and watch them grow, oh, oh

Plant white roses and plan to cry
If I can't spend my life with you
Plant white roses, I wanna die
If I can't spend my life with you, my life with you
My life with you
