Roses
Verse 1:
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go
At what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings,
I bought a book of rules
for every coin that I could steal
Verse 2:
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn
Pre-Chorus:
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Chorus:
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
Verse 3:
I've heard the rumors, started fires,
I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I
Behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat,
But healing doesn't seem to happen when you
Away the seed
Verse 4:
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn
Pre-Chorus:
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Chorus:
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
Bridge:
Without you I'm nothing at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing is impossible
It all seems to fit the frame
Pre-Chorus:
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Chorus:
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
