Cover Me with Roses (1974 Version)

Cover Me with Roses (1974 Version) - Jackson C. Frank

I'll bend your head if I can

That's what it is to be a man

Although we're at the same station

It ain't your trip that I'm takin'

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses if you can

As if I knew you won't steal

I cover you and you make me feel

I put the salt in the pan

I watch you walk without command

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses if you can

Each day according to plan

You pick your ground

And you make your stand

Your life is like a parade

You make your deal

And you know it's made

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses if you can

And when you offer your hand

Your smile goes water

And your will goes sand

If I was standin' in your shoes

I'd laugh and say it was the blues

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses if you can

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses if you can
