The roses in the window box have tilted to one side
Everything about this house was born to grow and die
Oh, it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day
You said, "I'm sorry, honey, if I don't change the pace
I can't face another day"
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll, you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire that you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line, I hope you're happy now
Well, if the wind of change comes down your way, girl
You'll make it back somehow
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll, and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh, it kill me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
And my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Love lies bleeding in my hands
Whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo
