Zombies, The - A Rose For Emily Lyrics






The summer is here at last
The sky is overcast
And no one brings a rose for Emily

She watches her flowers grow
While lovers come and go
To give each other roses from her tree
But not a rose for Emily...

Emily, can't you see (how the sun is shining again)
There's nothing you can do?
There's loving everywhere
But none for you...

Her roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain

And as the years go by
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for Emily...

Emily, can't you see (how the sun is shining again)
There's nothing you can do?
There's loving everywhere
But none for you...

Her roses are fading now
She keeps her pride somehow
That's all she has protecting her from pain

And as the years go by
She will grow old and die
The roses in her garden fade away
Not one left for her grave
Not a rose for Emily...

    The story “A rose for Emily” is a story that I need to read in my junior high days. It is so sad that Ms. Emily died alone. Her life is so dark and sad. She’s really deserving for a rose. 😞

  9. E.... U....

    Great piano work & I also remember when l had this song on an album. That was years ago & I certainly do miss that album. But it's a great song a bit on the sophisticated sound. The 60's was the testing ground for what later would become 70's music. When the Zombies broke up some of the former members. Formed the band 10CC more or less that group had a sound similar to this. Some of those songs that had great piano work. The Zombies in a way were ahead of their time. They were evolving musically because they had the talent. This is certainly a great song with great piano work.

  12. E.... T....

  20. D.... D....

    S town was good but am I the only one disappointed that it went from an exciting possible murder to no murder then went to a possible theft of gold/ treasure hunt to nothing really exciting? Don't get me wrong I loved John B. He was hilarious to listen to and a really good guy for wanting to better the world but if he hadn't killed himself no one would ever know who he was. He'd be just some guy in Alabama that still lives with his mom and conspires against... Well... most things lol

    D.... D....

    You totally missed the point of the podcast then. And obviously don't understand how poignantly relevant this song is to the story of John B.

  21. K.... ....

    Anyone here from MCR's Emily?

  22. D.... W....

    That's fine. I'm allergic to flowers anyways lol. My name is actually Emily, and yes, I really am allergic to flowers 😂

  23. E.... ....

  24. E.... F....

    Actually related to the William Faulkner and my name is Emily and my favorite flower is a rose what a coincidence

    E.... F....

    Emily Folkner My name is Emily-Rose, also a big coincidence

  25. E.... G....

    I like it if I get 6 likes ill kiss my boyfriend

  26. N.... H....

    It's so sad TT.....I don't want to be her kind, but I think I'm turning into her...

  27. E.... E....

    Wow, someone wrote a song about me! I'd be touched, but I'm concerned about how accurate it is... Why are these people following me?

    E.... E....
