If that's true, it certainly clinches the death/suicide
interpretation!  The other line that really makes me think that is
"Away from the party".

I've never heard of a white rose being a symbol for death, but I'm
probably just ignorant.  I would have thought it would be a symbol for
purity and innocence, but two other people today have confirmed to me
that it is a symbol for death, but they didn't know why or from where.

So whywhofromwhenwherewhetherhitherhereforto is a white rose a symbol for
death?

P.S.  I made a mistake on the last line of the song when I typed it
in.  The last line is not

	It wouldn't take me long
	To tell you where we'll meet

but rather

	It wouldn't take me long
	To tell you how to find it
