Rob Lytle

Lyrics

Verse
Bouquet of roses in my hand
I stood there just outside our door
Dinner and moonlight was the plan
Just like a thousand times before

So just imagine my surprise
When I saw on our bedroom wall
Her final turn at turn about
In letters 18 inches tall

Chorus
I read the writing on the wall
She spelled it out in bright red lipstick
And to be sure I would not miss it
She did her writing on the wall

Verse
I treated her like she was mine
And despite all the pain and lies
Each time she tried to draw the line
I saw the faith there in her eyes

Somehow I never saw it coming
And she would leave me in this way
That it would someday be too much
and she would have her final say


I read the writing on the wall
She spelled it out in bright red lipstick
And to be sure I would not miss it
She did her writing on the wall

Verse
One single solitary word
was all that needed to be said
The dear john letter said "goodbye"
There on the wall above our bed

So you can call me Nostradamus
Because it's obvious to me
Just how very, very, lonely
My future days are going to be

Chorus
I read the writing on the wall
She spelled it out in bright red lipstick
And to be sure I would not miss it
She did her writing on the wall

Chorus
I read the writing on the wall
She spelled it out in bright red lipstick
And to be sure I would not miss it
She did her writing on the wall
