All I Want Is a Cottage, Some Roses, and You

V5.5

Last night I slept too soft, dear And dreamed you came to me You said forever real calm No big speech, just us Morning came in plain Your side stayed cold and clean My empty arms I stretched to you Your pillow kept its shape Boy, I said your name real low Not drama, just the truth I woke up wanting less Than I used to Small house, two keys Roses by the rail Lilies in a jar Sun on cheap mail Heart's-ease on the sill Bread, clean sheets, rain Two cups, one room And you coming through All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you Won't you come back and make my dream true? No Cartier, no suite No driver, no view Not the front row wristband Not the black card mood Just a place, some flowers Cottage, roses, you All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you Come back, make my dream true "Last night while I lay sleeping, dear," "I dreamed you came to me." I dreamed we made an island No passport, no flex Just a room with good air And your coat on the chair True hearts never part Old line, still hurts I act above it all Then I save a rose for you One flower on the table One chair pulled out I still leave it for you No speech, just proof Garden, sun, ease No slammed door in the hall Lilies, clean plates No contest at all Castle made of care Not marble, not news Low roof, clean truth It only works with you All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you Won't you come back and make my dream true? No velvet rope, no suite No rented view Not a palace, not a crown Not the whole crowd looking Just a place, some flowers Cottage, roses, you All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you Come back, make my dream true "Dreams often come again, dear," "And sometimes they come true;" Sun in the room We get to be quiet We get to be warm No need to perform No velvet rope No rented view I feel safe, weirdly When I picture you Come through Come through All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you Won't you come back and make my dream true? I will build you a castle of love for your own With lilies and heart's-ease in bloom Small budget, big room Two forks, one sink Rent due, flowers new I woke up, still chose it All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you Not more, not more Just us, just two All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you Won't you come back and make my dream true? (Oooh, mm-hmm) Some roses, and you Some roses, and you All I want is a cottage, some roses, and you
