The Word - Patti Scialfa

Oh, such an ordinary start

For a day that ends with its intent to break your heart

And I, I thought that I was strong

Was it necessary for me to learn that I was wrong?

The word is out

I’ve been defeated, I’ve been laid down low

The word is out

It’s time for me to let go

I know, I was walkin' in my sleep (I know)

Through fields of poison

Secrets bloomin' at my feet

And I, I opened up my eyes (And I)

And found myself caught between

The cold hard truth and soft warm lies (Cold hard truth, soft warm lies)

The word is out (The word is out)

I’ve been defeated, I’ve been laid down low

The word is out (The word is out)

It’s time for me to let go

Yes, Sally don’t you go 'round, 'round, 'round those roses

You don’t have go 'round, 'round and around

There’s nothing in those roses, in those roses that’ll get ya (There's nothing

in those roses)

There’s nothing in those roses that’ll get you now

The word is out (The word is out)

I’ve been defeated, I’ve been laid down low (Laid down low)

The word is out (The word is out)

It’s time for me to let go

Yes, Sally don’t you go 'round, 'round, 'round those roses

You don’t have go 'round, 'round and around

There’s nothing in those roses, in those roses that’ll get ya (There's nothing

in those roses)

There’s nothing in those roses that’ll get you now

Yes, Sally don’t you go 'round, 'round, 'round those roses

You don’t have go 'round, 'round and around

There’s nothing in those roses, in those roses that’ll get ya (There's nothing

in those roses)

There’s nothing in those roses that’ll get you now
