Ray LaMontagne - Roses and Cigarettes

Plastered in your newspaper palace
Dishes and the backdoor slams
The dogs on the floor
They dont roam anymore
And the rivers gone deaf at the dam

The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps
Chokes you when you lift your rake
A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth
But your love aint the kind you can keep

Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillow case that remembers you
the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again

Seen how you look at the stranger
I see how you waite when hes gone
If I told you I thought that there was a sin in your heart
Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong

Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again

He tells you that he needs you, hes a liar
He tells you hes a hero, hes a fool
He tells you hell stay till the lords breaking day
Then babe he aint nothing but cruel

Oh roses and cigarettes
Pillowcase that remembers you
the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips
Till I think I might go insane
When will I see you again

There isn't a bigger Ray fan than myself and this song just takes my breathe away. His voice is so pure and unique. It almost reminds me of something from the 70's. He should win the award for artist of the year. Can't wait to see him live.

This is the song I've been looking for since I broke up with my last girlfriend. Pure genius, thank you so much for this.

Ray LaMontagne

10% - flesh and bones

[dougyfresh2005]

Isn't he great.... Watched him live a couple of times and the man is amazing. Spread the word because there isn't enough of Ray on our radio's in the UK..!

If there was ever a gift to Earth from the Cosmos, it would sound like Ray LaMontagne.

Can't remember how I cam across Ray, but it sure was a happy day :). And yes, I too have the impression that I've been listening to crap all day when I put Ray on, lol.
