A Rose For Emily

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
