Local Roses - Dear Boy

It’s not her

There’s a ghost in her clothes

It’s not love

But it felt like it then

I can hold her now

But it’s clear that she’s not mine to keep

‘Cause it was always in my heart to let her go

The local rose I’ll never know

It’s a dream

I’m not free to leave

It’s a promise

If I could ever learn to keep one

I still walk your street like it’s new to me

But I know this house

And now I’ve got my chance to finally do things right

But I won’t tonight

If you say goodbye, so will I

If you say goodbye, so will I

If you say goodbye, so will I

If you say goodbye, so will I

I can hold her now

But she was never mine at all

Guess I was always meant to let her go

The local rose I’ll never know

If you say goodbye, so will I

If you say goodbye, so will I

So will I, so will I

So will I, will I, will I

Oooh, oooh, oooh

Oooh, oooh, oooh
