A Sea of Roses

Joey Ryan, Kenneth Pattengale

[Verse 1]
I lose sleep at night like a young man who's in the fight of his young life
I have never known the way the wind would blow if everything were fine
I'm scared that when I die I'll be alone with no one sitting by my side
No, I do not think that I could be alone when I die

[Chorus 1]
Lay me down in the ground
Put me back into the earth
Among all of my friends
Under a blanket of roses
A sea of flowers overhead

[Verse 2]
A field outside of Nashville pitches color to the dreariness of day
So the air hangs soft and tender, blowin' 'round my thoughts whichever way
Where hills, they rise for miles and miles, I recognize the cryin' in the wind
I hear people come from everywhere to say goodbye sweet-like to their kin

[Chorus 1]
Lay me down in the ground, put me back into the earth
Among all of my friends under a blanket of roses
A sea of flowers overhead

[Chorus 2]
That is right, I don't believe anymore than skies above
It's just me and those I've loved under a blanket of roses
A sea of flowers overhead
When I die
