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 taking

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses if you can

As if I knew you once still

I cover you, and you make me feel

I put the salt in the pan

I watch you walk without command

I'll cover you with roses

Cover you with roses

I'll cover you with roses if I 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 is water, and your will go sand

If I was standing in your shoes

I'd laugh and say it was the best

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses

Cover me with roses if you can

I'll cover you with roses

I'll cover you with roses

I'll cover you with roses if I can
