Cover Me With Roses

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
