If your heart was a rose
I left it to wither and die,
Blowing in the wind,
Burning under the sky.
And if my garden overgrown,
Were the only thing there
'Cause you were to go,
It’d only be fair.
Smell it, breath it, feel it, need it,
Know it, love it, mean it
I’m feeling my way but I get it wrong
It's a walk in the park only for some
Got my head to the ground till I get home
Watch me cos I go round in circles
Though your petals have fallen
In my bleak december cold,
Still you persist,
With beauty untold.
Pure as grace in full bloom,
Without help it still grows;
And you hunger for my love,
I can’t believe I’ve got your rose
