Lyrics
There’s a rose on the stoop of my parent’s house
A single rose today
A flower lies on a concrete bed
The quilt-maker has flown away
Flown away
Without warning
Flown away
Without a word
Rise and shine
The air is still, the sky is overcast
The clouds will not release the rain
When all the days pass in one last breath
The force of your love still remains
I remain
Unfinished
I remain
Your friend
Rise and shine
Take your place
in the timeless light
and shine
