Black Roses

And so she'll wait

Amongst her old black roses

Her whole life fading in

And out of the wind

I've loved, I've lost

My dreams were well worth the cost

But my roses have always been around

Too many lies, too many tears

Too many hopes lost in too many years

Too many tries, such long goodbyes

When it all comes 'round we'll always be here

It's cold out there

And frost hides the blue winter air

Her roses lay sleeping in the ground

And so she'll wait

Amongst her old black roses

Her whole life fading in

And out of the wind

Too many lies, too many tears

Too many hopes lost in too many years

Too many tries, such long goodbyes

When it all comes 'round we'll always be here
