[Verse 1]
Rose kept a stem in a cracked glass jar
By the blackwindow, staring at the scar
Your name on her phone lit up one time
Then the screen went dark like a punched-out sky
She wore that red like a warning sign
But it bled out slow in the back of my mind
I watched her fade in the kitchen glow
Left me with a house that still don’t know
[Pre-Chorus]
And I said stay, stay
She said I can't, babe
Blackwindow cold
And the whole room changed
[Chorus]
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
Gone too soon, I know
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
I keep that pain close
Rose at Blackwindow
[Verse 2]
Now the sink holds ash and a chipped white cup
Same old chair where you used to look up
I hit the corner store with a paper face
Came back home to an empty place
Your laugh still hangs in the hall at night
Like a shirt on a hook in the pale porch light
I talk to the wall like you might reply
But the room just breathes and the minutes die
[Pre-Chorus]
And I said stay, stay
She said I can't, babe
Blackwindow cold
And the whole room changed
[Chorus]
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
Gone too soon, I know
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
I keep that pain close
Rose at Blackwindow
[Bridge]
If I could fold time back
I’d keep your heart intact
No blackwindow view
No goodbye blues
[Chorus]
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
Gone too soon, I know
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
Rose at Blackwindow
I keep that pain close
Rose at Blackwindow
