A Sea of Roses

A Sea of Roses - The Milk Carton Kids

Lyrics by：Joey Ryan/Kenneth Pattengale

I lose sleep at night like a young

Who's in the fight of his young life

I have never known the way

The wind would blow if everything were fine

I'm scared that when I die I'll be

Alone with no one sitting by my side

No I do not think that

I could be alone when I die

Lay me down in the ground

Put me back into the earth

Among all of my friends

Under a blanket of roses

A sea of flowers overhead

A field outside of Nashville pitches color to the dreariness of day

So the air hangs soft and tender

Blowin' 'round my thoughts whichever way

Where hills

They rise for miles and miles

I recognize the cryin' in the wind

I hear people come from everywhere

To say goodbye sweet-like to their kin

Lay me down in the ground put me back into the earth

Among all of my friends under a blanket of roses

A sea of flowers overhead

That is right I don't believe anymore than skies above

It's just me and those I've loved under a blanket of roses

A sea of flowers overhead

When I die
