Blood and Roses

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain, then I heard you say

"I want to love, but it comes out wrong"
"I want to live, but I don't belong"
"I close my eyes and I see blood and roses"

Love flowers in the springtime
October, we were wed
In wintertime, the roses died
The blood ran cold and then she said

"I want to love, but it comes out wrong"
"I want to live, but I don't belong"
"I close my eyes and I see blood and roses"

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain, then I heard you say

"I need your love, but it comes out wrong"
"I try to live, but I don't belong"
"I close my eyes and I see blood and roses"

Blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
