Farther Up The Road Lyrics & Chords By Vigilantes Of Love

Honey cover me with roses
Cover me in the leaves of fall
On those beads of your rosary
Hey remember me when you call
I'll be waiting by the telephone
Though you're just down the hall
When I'm beat down cold and stoned
Wrap me up in your prayer shawl
Now some will steal your garden
Some will sow their weeds
Yeah some will rob you good and blind
Just to see you bleed
Honey cover me with roses
This sack of bones and skin
Come and breathe upon this spirit
'Fore winter settles in
Checking out of this cheap motel
With the wind all in our souls
God shows His face
Farther up the road
Now all those choices that you took
Asked more than you can give
And all of those worst-case scenarios
Become your one life to live
And all the greed and powers that be
They have worked no ill effect
There are never disappointments
When there's nothing left
Now hunger she's a driver
But you never knew her name
You had assumed different destinations
But now they're obviously the same
Hey you can take it all on the chin
Pretending you don't feel a thing
And there is no bucket big enough
For tears that make you sing
Honey cover me with roses
Yeah and do not spare the thorns
You know some of us are waiting
A lifetime to be born
And if there are no roses
And those dealers will not sell
Let your prayers become like kisses
And they'll do just as well
