It's taking so much longer than I remember
Days of fall bleed into the embers
And I hate every time that I remember
Holes in walls and empty stalls
They stay with me, so baby, tell me

How am I supposed to know
That rain and laughter grow
When I myself have never seen a rose?

Now I'll give you words that you can live by
Leave the past, don't forget the good times
And now every time that you cross my mind
Those lucky stars and tarot cards
They stay with me, so baby, tell me

How am I supposed to know
That rain and laughter grow
When I myself have never seen a rose?
