People are saying you murdered your ex-wife
Did you use a shotgun, a rope, or a kitchen knife?
I know you're better than that, I don't believe it's true
It was easier for you to just let it go
You're always digging around in the dirt, I know
But it was all just talk, they couldn't prove it true
I know you're better than that, I swear to God I do
Your backyard's full of roses
Is there something you're keeping to yourself?
You're backyard's full of roses
Were you digging a hole for something else?
You're singing hallelujah, hallelujah at Sunday morning mass
Will my heart refuse to charge a man of God with the devil's craft?
She's been missing for almost eleven years
It's hard to believe she just up and disappeared
But if it could happen, I guess it could happen to you
Now people are saying what did you do it for?
Is it because she wasn't twenty-two anymore?
Everybody knew, but they couldn't prove it true
I know you better than that, at least I hope I do
Your backyard's full of roses
Is there something you're keeping to yourself?
You're backyard's full of roses
Were you digging a hole for something else?
Now, how would you sleep?
How would you sleep with that voice inside your head?
How would you sleep?
How would you sleep with that ghost in your bed?
Shut it out, shut it out to live with what you'd done
When the weight of it really sank in, you'd have to tell someone
You're singing hallelujah, hallelujah at Sunday morning mass
Could it be a man of God has his heart in the devil's grasp?
Your backyard's full of roses
Is there something you're keeping to yourself?
Your backyard's full of roses
Were you digging a hole for something else?
Your backyard's full of roses
Is it full of roses? Is it full of roses?
Is it full of roses? Is it full of roses?
Is it full of roses?
Is there something you're keeping to yourself?
