A Rose for Emily lyrics

The summer is here at last

The sky is overcast

And no one brings a rose for Emily

She watches her flowers grow

While lovers come and go

To give each other roses from her tree

But not a rose for Emily

Emily, can't you see

There's nothing you can do?

There's loving everywhere

But none for you

Her roses are fading now

She keeps her pride somehow

That's all she has protecting her from pain

And as the years go by

She will grow old and die

The roses in her garden fade away

Not one left for her grave

Not a rose for Emily

Emily, can't you see

There's nothing you can do?

There's loving everywhere

But none for you

Her roses are fading now

She keeps her pride somehow

That's all she has protecting her from pain

And as the years go by

She will grow old and die

The roses in her garden fade away

Not one left for her grave

Not a rose for Emily
