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 and 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
