Walking on the road side   The rain was coming through our coats   The abandoned car came into view   Finding one door open   We gave a cry and dove inside   And that was where   We spent the afternoon   Afternoon      Oh, I thank you for the roses   Thank you for the ride   I caught with you      Standing on the curb side   Waiting for the light to go   Talking of our million things to do   A simple minded man there   Kept repeating go, go, go   And when he stopped   He was looking right at you   Right at you      Oh, I thank you for the roses   Thank you for the ride   I caught with you
