Whorl - Roses in the Basement

He drove in from El Paso
But he made good time
The car that he drove was the same that was wrecked
A few days prior on I-25
And as he stumbled through his long gone home
He noted it couldn't be restored
Made his way down to the cellar below
Only to find something growing up through the floorboards
And he saw roses, roses in the basement
He saw roses, roses in the basement
And he saw roses, roses in the basement
He saw roses in the basement
He sliced his palms on that hot western wind
And he walked for miles and miles
Up and down a stretch of highway death
Looking for a sign of revival
And a black bush he did find
Charred from a million fires
Just another broken tumbleweed
Worn out and tired
But he saw roses, roses in the basement
He saw roses, roses in the basement
He saw roses, roses in the basement
He saw roses in the basement
