Tom Waits The Last Rose Of Summer Lyrics

I love the way
The tattered clouds
Go wind across the sky

As summer goes
And leaves me
With a tear in my eye

I'm taking out my winter clothes
My garden knows what is wrong
The petals of my favorite rose
Be in the shadows dark and long

Though every year
It's very clear
I should be used
To carrying on
But I can be found
In the garden
Singing this song

When the last
Rose of summer is gone
