Blue Roses from Paper Planes by MISTER WHISTLER

Had a teacher as a friend
he used to smoke a lot
long grey hair and yellow nails
way too many words he said

It was my birthday when I learned
he told me on his dying bed
pierced my chest with blades of ice
and then my stomach turned

Blue Roses
Blue Roses

I’m sorry for the mess, he said
I don’t look the same
can’t get up get you a present
so, get yourself one in my name

Dropped some coins into my palm
sent me downtown to the shops
not much ‘bout flowers that I knew
so, what I bought was roses blue

and I played the Blues at his grave
with wet eyes and a heavy heart
they called me the Bluesman
they called me…
