Turn Back Time Lyrics & Tabs by Beady Belle
Turn Back Time
guitar chords lyrics
As I touched the rose all the petals fell off
And the stem stood there naked wittingly exposed
The perfect composition wasn't there anymore
The sublime masterpiece scattered out on the floor
The pitiable sight of the fragmented bloom
As a smell of decay suddenly filled the room
Irreversible and oh so irremediable deed
Despite self-reproach I'm a broken reed
Why couldn't I have just enjoyed the beauty
Why couldn't I have just left it alone
How could I destroy something so wonderfully made
Now the season of blossom is gone
How I wish I could turn back time
How I wish you'd still be mine
However I trumpet the blame that I take
How I wish I could turn back time
How I wish you'd still be mine
However I trumpet the blame that I take
The sorry word doesn't work on this mistake
So I'll sweep up all the petals lying on the floor
And I'll empty the dustpan as I lock the door
Why couldn't I have just enjoyed the beauty
Why couldn't I have just left it alone
How could I destroy something so wonderfully made
Now the season of blossom is gone
How I wish I could turn back time
How I wish you'd still be mine
