Take these roses off of me
See everything and nothing in their time
And light up the hillside
Who'd have guessed I'd ever learn
To let the walls around me burn
And I don't know if you see me here
But I can tell you your face is clear
Call me teacher, call me friend
It echoes in the walls around this room
And I don't know if you hear me there
When it's dark and no one cares
And now I've got to learn to carry on
Nothing is the same since you're gone
Send me letters from above
Send me strength, send me love
Sing me songs that echo in my head and in my heart
And I don't know if you feel me here
I can tell you one thing is clear
Take these roses off of me
