The Greenfly And The Rose - Robert Calvert

All good things must end\nThe straightest rose will bend\nIts colours droop and wilt\nJust like a love affair\nThe Pink Sensation fades\nThe Sterling Silver fades\nThe Virgo and Blue Moon\nSoon they’re just wrinkled things\nThe Baccara\nThe flame red Superstar\nForever yours\nA rose called Peace\nAt night the aphids dream\nA micro-locust's dream\nThey eat the world alive\nThere’s not a morsel left\nThey eat the jungle leaves\nConsume the wheat-field sheaves\nThe eat the flowers and plants\nThey eat their stalks as well\nAs their tiny jaws\nMunch on plan and cause\nTheir complex eyes\nExamine the skies\nThey eat the cumuli\nMarshmallow of the sky\nThey eat away the blue\nAnd they eat the Sun and Moon\nThey swallow all the stars\nAnd both the moons of Mars\nThey lick the plate of space\nThey lick their lips as well\nThe Baccara\nThe flame red Superstar\nForever yours\nA rose called Peace\nThe Greenfly and the Rose\nThe Greenfly and the Rose\nThe Greenfly and the Rose\nThe Greenfly and the Rose\nThe Greenfly and the Rose\nThe Greenfly and the Rose\nThe Greenfly and the Rose\nThe Greenfly and the Rose
