about

Written by Emily Johnson-Erday.

lyrics

Count the days since I last missed it
'Cause lately I've been getting sickness
Every morning, when the moonlight fades
Into the light of day

But I don't want to be a harbor
For a man who comes and goes
Leaving nothing but an empty chair
And the scent of his clothes

So, cedar red, cohosh blue,
Wild thistle, cotton root,
The saints won't answer when I call,
So I call on you
To bring the roses down
Bring the roses down
Bring the roses down

Take this tea, don't be a mother
Drink it all, try to forget
But if I drink this bitter water
Will I only taste regret?

Or cedar red, cohosh blue,
Wild thistle, cotton root
The saints won't answer when I call,
So I call on you
To bring the roses down
Bring the roses down
Bring the roses down

Ophelia had rue and pansy
Pennyroyal, fennel, and tansy
Rosemary and Queen Anne's lace
Wild myrtle, herb o' grace

And cedar red, cohosh blue,
Wild thistle, cotton root
The saints won't answer when I call,
So I call on you

And I will not be silent
And I will not be chaste
How can I make a life
If it means mine goes to waste?

I will bring the roses down
Bring the roses down
Bring the roses
