Tom Waits — She Stole the Blush

A window left open and the pillow is soaking wet Who says love ever comes without tolls? She sends no kindness, no words of regret Then she puts the fork in the road There's a ring with a diamond missing It was lost in the backseat of a car And there's a dollar on the floor in the kitchen Christmas lights blinking on a long dead tree in the parlor Cheaters never prosper Cheaters never win Cheaters never prosper Cheaters never win Cheaters never prosper Cheaters never win Long hair, big eyes, and she always needs money Did I find her or was she the one who chose? I wanna drown like a fly in the honey And she stole the blush from the rose Long hair, big eyes, and she always needs money Did I find her or was she the one who chose? I wanna drown like a fly in the honey Because she stole the blush from the rose Because she stole the blush from the rose Remember she stole the blush from the rose Because she stole the blush from the rose Because she stole the blush from the rose From the rose, from the rose From the rose, from the rose
