The Clarks - Roses and Diesel lyrics

Roses and diesel don't mix.

You can't just come and go

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone

I know Venus came from Mars

And Venus sure could play guitar

Born in the way of desires In my eyes, Venus was a star

Working hard, time was very

Few and far between, we'd marry

I wait up for you at night

Though I won't see you 'til January

Roses and diesel don't mix.

You can't just come and go

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone

When will I see you again?

On the road next week, I dread

That you'll be on a bus to nowhere

Singing about the days that might have been

Put down that guitar, I'm talking to you

I can't seem to quite get through

Trying to talk about our future,

A house, some kids, and how much I miss you

Roses and diesel don't mix.

You can't just come and go

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone

Oh no, I won't let go

In time you will know

What it means to be...

All in good time

Roses and diesel don't mix.

You can't just come and go

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone

Roses and diesel don't mix.

You can't just come and go

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone
