Black Rose

Lead not for loss

And you'll bleed not for long

Lost in streets unnamed by your fate

Go unplayed all the records

You've reclaimed

But it's easy

In the winter

Where the white smoke

Rises slow like finding

Something waiting

Where no one goes

It makes a sound like dying

Was it tracking

To say

I'd give you all and diamonds

Just for one more

Replay

Just one chance to say

Keep me close

I'll never weep

My love's asleep

I've kept it close

And guarded tight

From dead of night

And laid a cross

Of iron dross

Upon my door

The way you laid

Across our bed some time before

In the winter

There's a black rose

It's beauty something blinding

Curling wilding

Through the white snow

It makes me feel like diamonds

Was it dying

To say

I'll give you all but silence

Just for one more

Replay

Just one more chance

To say

As my lover goes

My garden grows

As she looks away

I hear her say

As my garden

Grows my lover goes

As we look away

I hear him say
