Some say love
It is a river
And that it drowns
The tender reed.
And some say love
It's like a razor
And that it leaves
Your soul to bleed.
Some say love
It is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love
It is a flower
And you
It's only seed
It's the heart
Afraid of breaking
That never
Learns to dance
It's the dream
Afraid of waking
That never
Takes the chance
It's the one
Who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul
Afraid of dyin'
That never
Learns to live
When the night
Has been too lonely
And the road
Has been to long
And you think
That love is only
For the lucky
And the strong
Just remember
In the winter
Far beneath
The winter snows
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love
In the spring
Becomes the rose
The scarecrow's down
I hope you are alright
I am alright
There's a letter marked 'urgent'
I have not yet read it
Rose
Rose
I hear you are in Hampstead
I hope you can get married
Rose
Rose
Hear that wah-wah going?
Remember you started it
Freckles
Rose
It is now all the rage
With the younger set
Your replacement
He is a good man Rose?
Rose
I've got a good woman
Sometimes
Rose
Rose
Rose
Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette.
Holds her tired face up to the mirror.
She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget,
And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her.
She used to go to parties and a-dancing with her beau.
Beneath the southern moon they found their places.
But now she's tired all the time and she got no where to go,
And the memories keep showing up in faces.
So she finds her dressing table and she puts on all of her clothes,
And she cries when she's realized she's just an old Rose.
Rose walks to the kitchen then she fills her coffee cup.
And thinks of how the mornings used to greet her.
But now it's just another day and harder to get up,
And it breaks her heart to think that no one needs her.
And she wants to start all over but she ain't got far to go,
So she cries when she's realized she's just an old Rose.
Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette.
Holds her tired face up to the mirror.
She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget,
And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her.
[Verse 1]
You used to like my style
I used to like your smile
I said I'll stay a sec
You said stay a while
You started sippin wine
Said i was on your mind
I said I'm thinkin of you too girl
You're hella fine
We hit the night time
For a late date
And every day after that
For eight months straight
Though we was rolled tight
We had small fights
You should've seen how we argued
Under street lights
I couldn't see your tears
From the pouring rain
You should've seen my body shake
When she said my name
She said I'm not the same
Andre you changed
I said baby it's pain
From the rap game
We went our seperate ways
Man I was hurt for days
Man, I didn't even call
I went through withdrawl
Flashbacks of her face
Hit me sometimes
And I be wondering man
Does she think of mines?
[Chorus]
I think that Rose stuck through the hardest time
Sometimes I put Al Geen on and think of Rose
Being with you is like a state of mind
Girl I'm thinkin about you all the time
[Verse 2]
I saw her at a club
She was with a thug
She thought i would say hi
But i didn't show no love
The homies blazin buds
And now it's gettin live
But I knew that she knew
That I'd protect my pride
I see her watchful eye
From across the joint
And then she knew how I'd feel
If I heard her voice
Now some ladies talked
And other ladies walked
But when it came to you girl
Man there was a spark
Your whole anatomy man
Was like poetry
The very smell of your hair
Was like luxury
It was because of me
When the days were bright
I would come through
With my silent night
It ain't so long ago since we were just two kids
Remember well, memories we all hid
But you're much older now, although you still are young
I know you well, I'm like you
Hey Rose, you're finer than you know
Why hang around with clothes of another name
Hair so dyed, she lost too much inside
Ain't nothing left to hide in the game
Hey Rose, how do you laugh in your own show
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Rock 'n' roll slag, oh, my, you're such a drag
Trying to find the corner to inject
Hey Rose, so silently she goes
Careful not to make up, see your maker
Hey Rose, how do you laugh when she's on the show
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Hey, rock 'n' roll slag, oh, oh, you're such a drag
Trying to find the corner to inject
Hey Rose, you're finer than you know
Je lis tous les romans à l'eau de rose.
J'en souligne des passages au crayon rose.
Le bonheur m'obsède à la névrose.
Là où il y a du gris, je mets du rose.
Sur sa bouche, je pose
Mes deux lèvres roses.
Je l'aime car il suppose
Qu'aimer est toujours rose. [2x]
La couleur de tes joues quand glissent mes bas roses.
Je m'ouvre si tu presses le bouton rose.
Le bonheur m'obsède à la névrose.
Là où il y a du gris, je mets du rose.
Sur sa bouche, je pose
Mes deux lèvres roses.
Je l'aime car il suppose
Qu'aimer est toujours rose. [2x]
Sur sa bouche, je pose
Mes deux lèvres roses.
Je l'aime car elle suppose
Qu'aimer est toujours rose. [2x]
My life is swinging
My life is endless
It is endlessly falling down from heaven
And you will be washed to my shore
So light, so bright
Your face is shining above me
Heavy rainfalls and fragile guidance inside me
Roses, oh I beg you to blind me with love
Come down, feed me with stars that you've stolen from
heaven
Waste me, kill me with one single glance into my eyes
Roses, oh I beg you to blind me with love
My life is swinging
My life is endless
It is endlessly falling down from heaven
And you will be washed to my shore
Believe in goldmines
Believe in crying
Fear in your sweet hair reminds me of the silent days
I don't fear death
There's no place for me
Heal my soul
Be my raincoat, Roses
Although I'm swinging
My life is over
Started out with nothing but a beat up car and a new beginning but inside everything semed out of reach
Saw you there and you filled my eyes sent shivers up and down my spine I knew right then that you were meant for me
I drive all night thought about those days when the life I loved started slipping away stayed on track and I don't look back it took so long just to get it started
Give me what I want it's all about love and not about money
I don't want to stop I'll never give up it's sweeter than honey
I can't be here by myself 'cause to me theres no one else
You're as pretty as a rose I can't live without you
Back out on the road today the semi trucks and the nights on stage I got so many good time memories
When I was darkness at that time fueteru kuchibiru
Heya no katasumi de I cry
Mogakeba mogaku hodo tsukisasaru kono kizu
Yaburareta yakusoku hurt me
Nobody can save me
Kamisama hitotsu dake
Tomete saku you na my love
I need your love
I'm a broken rose
Maichiru kanashimi your song
Ibasho nai kodoku na my life
I need your love
I'm a broken rose.
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
With your smile, your eyes, and sing me, just for me
I wanna need your love...
I'm a broken rose
I wanna need your love...
When you were with me at that time
Anata no kage wo oikakete
Hadashi de kakemekete stop me
Tozaseba tozasu hodo motsureteku kono ai
Yuruyaka ni yasashiku kiss me
Nobody can save me
Kogoeru bara no you ni
Yasashiku nemuritai my tears
I need you love.
I'm a broken rose.
Kareochiru kanashimi my soul
Kuzureochiru kodoku na little girl
I need you love.
I'm a broken rose.
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
With your smile, your eyes,
And sing me, just for me
I wanna need your love…
I'm a broken rose
I wanna need your love…
I need your love
I'm a broken rose
Maichiru kanashimi your song
Ibasho nai kodoku na my life
I need your love
I'm a broken rose.
Oh baby, help me from frozen pain
With your smile, your eyes, and sing me, just for me
I wanna need your love…
I was a broken rose
don't
disturb
the beast
the tempermental goat
the snail
while he's feeding on the rose
stay rose, and compromise what i will, i am
been around
the wind silently blown about
again i'm treading so
soft and lightly
compromising my will i am
i am
my will
so no longer
will i
lay down
play dead
play hard to-
in the headlights, locked down and terrified
your deer in the headlights shined down and horrified
when push comes to pull comes to shove comes to step around
this self destructive dance that never would've managed
i rose, i roared aloud, hear my will, i am
i am
my will
so no longer
will i
lay down
play dead
play this
kneel-down gunshy martyr, pitiful
[Intro:]
Soft as the open air
As gentle as the common breeze
Is the beauty of the crimson rose
God has made you to be
Planted in the garden of life
By the King of Kings
And watered by His everlasting love
Each petal gently kissed by God
And enlightened by heaven's face
Forever surrounded by heaven's soil
And growing in heaven's amazing grace
[Hook:]
She's just a rose
She's just a rose
Because He rose
Because He rose
[Verse 1:]
I pray for my daughter—I pray for her soul
I pray that she remembers everything that I taught her
Even more than cherishing anything I bought her
I pray to God that she would never get caught up
With the wrong crowd every flower needs water
'Cause for every seed sown, another weed is growin'
So I gotta pour that water deep into her soul
The water is the word, therefore she's gotta know
That she's so beautiful—yet beauty is vain
And holiness is the only beauty that remains
I know that remains to be seen and so I'm prayin'
That she would stay pure even at a young age
She's just eight so it's only the front page
In the story of her life, therefore she's unscathed
But as she grows older, gotta let her hand go
Tell her look both ways before she walks across the road
She's a rose
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
I praise God for my wife—oh how I love her
People on the road wanna know how I met her
Mutual friend—It was summer of '97
At a singles' fellowship—yes, we exchanged numbers
Fast-forward something like five years
When I realized this woman was everything I wasn't
We transitioned from friends became lovers
In 2002, is when I became husband
Now she's wife—she's my rose
If she's a rose, then I'll take a dozen—dozen
She's every woman, when I come home hungry
There's food in the oven
She's in the ministry—nourishing the women at the church house
Wife—one day she'll be a mother
She's beautiful but it's deeper then the skin
'Cause her true beauty stems from being rooted in Him
She's a rose
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
One petal, two petals, three petals, four
Every time she's impure another petal hits the floor
For this reason her self image is poor
Overcome by depression therefore she's insecure
But she can exchange her pain for His joy
And her God can give her strength if ever she does mourn
If she mourns—she mourns; Her God can restore her
She can't look inside herself and expect to find a cure
All of us got dirt deep down at the core
And I know nobody's perfect, every rose has got thorns
Except Christ was perfect—He was sown into the soil
Now she's rooted in the power of the resurrected Lord
If you wake up in the dead of night
To feel alone, like a helpless child
Reach out for me, I’ll be close to you
I need to touch, that’s all I wanna do
And I feel a blaze of glory
When I’m in your arms
Whoa, I love to love you darling
Don’t care how many times
When you take me to your heaven
Then I know that you’re mine
Oh Rose, you’re my rose
More beautiful to me than any flower
You’re my world, everything that I desire
It started with a spark, now it’s a fire
In other words you mean everything to me
We both belong together
Say you’ll be forever my rose
I see the sun within your smile
So warm and tender, lighting up the sky
I can’t believe I’m sharing love with you
But I believe dreams come true
Cos you and I together, we’ll weather any storm
Oh when two hearts beat as one
And if the road is long we’ll travel if together
Oh you’ll be the only one
Oh Rose, you’re my rose
More beautiful to me than any flower
You’re my world, everything that I desire
It started with a spark, now it’s a fire
In other words you mean everything to me
We both belong together
Say you’ll be forever my rose
Oh, in other words you mean everything to me
We both belong together
Say you’ll be forever my rose
Oh say that it’s forever
So much sorrow she has to bear, I watched her cry in her sleep.
Day by day her pain becomes more, and then she turned to me.
She becomes so aware, that life is ruthlessly unfair.
And who are you to judge her pain? 'cause now maybe your suffer the same.
Rose-such a lucky flower.
So excited with her youth, she wants to be mature.
Rose-such a lucky flower.
So enchanted with her looks, we watch and we adore.
Some things, never seem important, till there gone.
Constantly struggling to make it on her own.
She becomes so aware, that life is ruthlessly unfair.
And who are you to judge her pain? 'cause maybe your suffer the same.
Rose-such a lucky flower.
So excited with her youth, she wants to be mature.
Rose-such a lucky flower.
So enchanted with her looks, we watch and we adore.
And she put her hand in mine, and I noticed the tears in her eyes.
Then she said to me, I need a friend tonight.
So she said.
So long this life, and all the weights heavy on my mind,
So long this world, I was never meant for this, anyway.
Rose-such a lucky flower.
So excited with her youth, she wants to be mature.
Rose-such a lucky flower.
So enchanted with her looks, we watch and we adore.
Rose-such a lucky flower.
So excited with her youth, she wants to be mature.
Rose-such a lucky flower.

My beds are always empty
If you don't count the ghosts
'Cause i have those a plenty
And its name is rose
Its name is rose
So dear Rose, is home
the scent of skin
or is home somewhere
i've been
so i can trace back my tracks
i can trace back my tracks
relax in me, in me
should i be wanting it back
i can trace back my tracks
i can trace back
i need some of that
wander where my blood
dark red some veins
enough said
not said
Rose was a waitress for twenty years or more
bringing in the change, she was heaven sent
she taught me how to balance trays when I didn't know what to do
and I learned to turn tables to make my rent
She said keep your eye on the work clock, keep a dollar in the jukebox
and there's a bottle of whiskey behind the coffee machine
Don't talk to the boss, he's just trouble you don't want to cross
he's the walking definition of what it is to be mean
Well, I'm going out tonight on the streets of the city
Going to spend my money tonight
I'm going out on the streets of the city
Rose, you're pushing fifty, but you sure look all right
Well there's this guy who speaks no English, and he does the dishes by hand
You know his pace it never slacks
I said "Rose, he must be one of God's good children"
She just laughs and says "Yeah, God's got him doing the dishes all night in the
back"
But he keeps smiling and those plates keep piling up so high
seems he can't make a dent
Me I'm just bitchin' by the service station
so tired of waiting on all these jokers for a lousy ten percent
Well I'm going out on the streets of the city
Going to spend my money tonight
I'm going out on the streets of the city
Rose, you're pushing fifty, but you sure look all right
Now listen
I traveled once with this rock and roll band
and my baby was a hero at every small town bar
and I watched that summer of '88 pass through the rearview mirror of his rented
car
but don't you learn hard and fast that the good times, they ain't meant to last
and that sweet love, ain't it the first to disappear
Rose, sometimes I get so frightened, I don't want to spend the rest of my life
working on the graveyard shift here
Well I'm going out on the streets of the city
Going to spend my money tonight
I'm going out on the streets of the city
Rose, you're pushing fifty, but you sure look all right
Walk the streets alone tonight
No life at home
Must get out to watch the pretty Ones
You want to talk but they don't understand
You want to live
Want to love
You are a Rose, on a stormy sea
Rose, uncaring society
Rose, of impropriety
You must be what you must be
No other the same
Hunting streets hormones high
Forgotten Rose, alone you cry
You want to live
Want to love
You are a Rose, on a stormy sea
Rose, uncaring society
Rose, thorns to hide your feelings
You are a Rose, on a stormy sea
Rose, uncaring society
Rose, of impropriety
The aftertaste was one long longing
My whole being begging for one
My afterlife will be a song
With otherworldly inspiration
She calls me on
Rose has died and now morose
Let it happen comatose
I could use another dose of faith
Of faith
Faith that emboldens me
Caught in her entropy
Folds her rosy fingertips
She pulls the crimson ocean
Riptides of seratonin
In all my whole world, there's only this
My roses
My happiness lasts a moment
I don't own it
She is the dawn
You've done all you can do
I bleed through you
She calls me on
Rose has died and now morose
Let it happen comatose
I could use another dose of faith
Of faith
Faith that emboldens me
Caught in her entropy
Folds her rosy fingertips
She pulls the crimson ocean
Riptides of seratonin
In all my whole world, there's only this
My roses
Life's a war, life's a war
What are we fighting for?
Life's a war, life's a war
What are we fighting for?
My rose is gone
Rose has died and now morose
Let it happen comatose
I could use another dose of faith
Of faith
Faith that emboldens me, caught in her entropy
Rose unfolds rosy fingertips
Drown in her crimson ocean
Riptides of seratonin
In all my whole world, there's only this
Faith that emboldens me
Caught in her entropy
Fate unfolds her fingertips
She pulls the crimson ocean
Riptides of seratonin
In all my world, there's only this
My roses
My loneliness
My love
Don't you know you're all
That i think of
Many days have gone
I'm away from you
Said you'd be at home
Just waitin' by the phone
Still ain't talk to you
My love
Thought we understood
That my heart's true
I'm running out of time
Girl I need you
I spend it my last time
I'm not gon' sleep tonight
'Til I hear your voice
Where is my rose?
The one i gave to you
Where is my rose?
Don't say we're through
Where is my rose?
You know I'm missin' you
Has it wilted in the cold
Where is my rose?
(Yeah, yeah)
Celebrating Christmas will never be the same
Theres a soft and tiny voice calling out my name
Rose, Rose, I'm crying again
Rose, Rose, I'm crying again
In your heart there was always room for love
In your heart there was always room for love
I'm crying again
I'm crying again
In your heart there was always room for love
In your heart there was always room for love
When I said it didn't touch me I was lieing I guess
Ijust couldn't believe it was you in there
When they laid you to rest
Rose, Rose, I'm crying again
Rose, Rose, I'm crying again
In your heart there was always room for love
In your heart there was always room for love
You and your friends
Boxes of ten
Cool to the touch
You warn me so much
The white to your left
The red to your right
Are all that I'd seen
Til I realised the love that I seek
Lies right in-between
Rose
I love ya
Especially today
Rose
I love your delicate way
The chill in my veins
Relieves me from pain
Again and again
I lose all control
Your taking your toll
And i'm no longer sane
Dont be afraid
The love that I show is the love that you made
So dont be afraid
'Cos your in control
I'm just your slave
Rose,
I love ya,
Especially today,
Rose,
I love your delicate way.
Dont let him put you down
I won't let him put you down
'Cos your as good as the rest
And you're much better dressed
I think pink is my colour
I wont drink from no other
Never!
Oh I love ya
Especially today
Especially this way
Oh Rose
I want ya
Believe me this way
Rose
I love your delicate way.
Don't disturb
The beast
The tempermental goat
The snail while he's feeding on
the Rose
Stay frozen, compromising
What I will
I am
Bend around
The wind silently
thrown about
Again I'm treading so
Soft and lightly
Compromising my will
I am
I am
I will
So no longer
Will I
Lay down
Play dead
Play your doe
in the headlights locked down
and terrified
Your deer in the headlights
shot down and horrified when
Push comes to pull comes to shove
Comes to step around this
Self-destructing dance that never
would've ended till I
Rose,
I roared aloud here
I will
I am.
I am
I will
So no longer
Will I
Lay down
Lay dead
Play this
Kneel down
Gun-shy Martyr
Pitiful
I rose, I roared
I will
Rose you have gone
and the fire is blown
i lift up my hands and touch the flames again
joy will come to chase the ghosts in my blood
cleaning the stains
in the pouring rain
Anytime, anyday
like a black river
anytime, anyway
Anytime, anyday
like a black river
anytime, anyway
what have we done
what have we done my love my little sun
shine over me rise like a new day over me
what have we done
what have we done my love my little sun
shine over me like a dimond shine on me
rose you have gone
in a river so deep
wide around as a floating dream
winter has come digging under my skin
the loss drys my eyes
and wets the sky with tears
Anytime, anyday
like a black river
anytime, anyway
Anytime, anyday
like a black river
anytime, anyway
what have we done
what have we done my love my little sun
shine over me rise like a new day over me
what have we done
what have we done my love my little sun
shine on me like a dimond shine on me
