lyrics

Black Rose

Black rose, real or ghost?
No one knows where to go.
Black rose, I suppose
if we stay the course it can’t get much worse.

What if somebody takes you home?
You could be happy for once.

Withered flower, every hour
I am lost, your pedals fall.
Turn to dust, so if you must
find relief; do as you please.

And if somebody takes you home,
I hope you’re happy moving on.

Black magic, sweet surrender,
I don’t know how to stop.
How come all the thoughts I feel are wrong?
Why must I dismiss this joy inside my heart?
You're twisting my arm just to prove you’re right, but green is not becoming of you.
Baby, what’s the point?

So if nobody takes you home,
I’d be happy to be the one.

I’ll meet you at the bar,
between Seventh and Mark’s.
We’ll start over again, and I won’t hesitate.

I’ll meet you in the stars,
between Venus and Mars.
We’ll start over again, and I won’t hesitate.

I’ll meet you at the end,
between lovers and friends.
We’ll start over again, and I won’t hesitate.
