Father, please don't be mad
Haven't had the time
But your son is just fine
Mother, please don't be sad
Haven't had the time
But your son is just fine
The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
Brother, please just be glad
You have all this time
So make up your mind
Sister, please lie me down
Cause I hit the road
And I don't know where to go
The roses on the wall
The roses on the wall
The roses on the wall
The roses on the wall
The roses on the wall
The roses on the wall
The roses on the wall
The roses on the wall
Father, please don't be sad
