Walking on the road side The rain was coming through our coats The abandoned car came into view Finding one door open We gave a cry and dove inside And that was where We spent the afternoon Afternoon Oh, I thank you for the roses Thank you for the ride I caught with you Standing on the curb side Waiting for the light to go Talking of our million things to do A simple minded man there Kept repeating go, go, go And when he stopped He was looking right at you Right at you Oh, I thank you for the roses Thank you for the ride I caught with you
