about

Written by Joe Boylan. It's about "unrequited love and John Wilkes Booth."

lyrics

Sic semper tyranus
Is what the man said
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you as I bled
You left me standing as usual
On the outside looking in
But look at me that way
I know where you've been

And somewhere in a meadow
There grows a rose
Hidden away from everyone
That's the way love goes

You smiled so sweetly
At the funeral home
Some things in life are better
When you're not alone
The poison was a fluid
As it usually is
Always wanting something to happen
And now it begins

And somewhere in a meadow
There grows a rose
Hidden away from everyone
That's the way life goes

Every effort you made
You felt your hands were tied
Tried to get yourself clean
But the lake was dry

We all tried to reach you
But you flew too high
I beseeched you
But you just slipped by
I thought you were thirsty
So I let you drink
Don't you know we would do anything
To bring you back from the brink
So I just stare at my hands
These useless tools
Trying to drown out the chorus
Of your conspiracy of fools
And somewhere in a meadow
There grows a rose
Hidden away from everyone
That's the way love goes.
