I tried to write to you in colors But I had to give it up I tried pretending I was wealthy But you know I never had enough Well how can I get to you my darling I never know just what to say I have been sending you smoke signals But the wind blew them away Blew them away And I can't go back Can't go on without you Let me in Let your rose buds come to bloom You seem to have a grace about you Not like the girls that I knew back home And I was so wild before I found you With not a thing to pin my hopes on And sometimes the sadness overtakes me For there's a warring in my soul Woman you speak such words of wisdom They are more comfort than you know Oooh than you know And I can't go back Can't go on without you Let me in Let your rose buds come to bloom And I can't go back Can't go on without you Let me in Let your rose buds come to bloom
