Pretty Roses in Your Hair - The Jayhawks

Standing on the landing

Looking down at me

I began to feel afraid

With my old eyes shining

Level at your knee

I held the stems of your bouquet

Pretty roses in your hair

(Bom bom bom)

Pretty roses in your hair

(Bom bom bom)

Pretty roses in your hair

Oh, how did I let you slip away?

Oh, how could I let you slip away?

Late from Bathurst Station

Your address in hand

The light could not be described

Never once but broken

All we should have been

You lived your life, I lived mine

How did I let you slip away?

How could I let you slip away?

Pretty roses in your hair

(Bom bom bom)

Pretty roses in your hair

(Bom bom bom)

Pretty roses in your hair

Oh, how did I let you slip away?

Oh, how could I let you slip away?

Pretty roses in your hair

(Bom bom bom)

Pretty roses in your hair

(Bom bom bom)

Pretty roses in your hair

Oh, how did I let you slip away?

Oh, how could I let you slip away?

Oh, how did I let you slip away?

Oh
