Keith Stegall - Guilty Rose
She stays home and sits, and stares, and thinks
Where could he be?
He never calls, he just shows up
Hands her a rose without a touch or kiss
How'd it come to this?
What used to be a sign of love
Now is used to cover up what he does
Where he goes
He's hoping maybe she won't ask
And a simple flower will hide his tracks
But she knows
It's just another guilty rose
She remembers way back when
That pink rose he brought with him red-faced
To their first day
And on the day he married her
All the roses in the church were white
They were joined for life
What used to be a sign of love
Now is used to cover up what he does
Where he goes
He's hoping maybe she won't ask
And a simple flower will hide his tracks
But she knows
It's just another guilty rose
It's just another guilty rose
