about

​​Elaine Cole debuts her first independent single, “Blame It on the Roses”. This sort-of love ballad, or tune of trial was written entirely by Elaine, and recorded with the acclaimed John Mailander (fiddle), Cory Walker (banjo), Jake Stargel (guitar); mastered by Austin Lee, all here in Nashville.

lyrics

Tattered in tinfoil,
You're a helpless dream
Come once to Carolina, Come twice to Tennessee
Shiver them bones, under Whipowhil trees
Hang under marmalade skies,
Like your bloody stained knees

Reckless ain't restless
Till the time fades away
And you don't know what you're doing
Till you don't know what to say
Heat of the moment got me carried away
Blame it all on the roses,
We're gonna fade with the days

What's crimson in the summer
Ain't gonna last till the fall
And you can't sit six feet under
When you're standing ten feet tall
And maybe I'll join you
But not for too long
There's an hour till the dawn breaks,
And you know, honey I'll be gone

Reckless ain't restless
Till the time fades away
And you don't know
What you're doing
Till you don''t know what to say
You got the heat of the moment
It's got me carried away
So you blame it all on the roses,
We gonna fade with the days

(instrumental, fade)
