Black Rose Lyrics by JD Souther

Black Rose

0

Well I know it all looks good when you're starting out
You can see where your heart should go
But somehow every time you lose at love again
The distance between you grows
I can see you carry a black rose
You carry a black rose
You carry a black rose
The silver moonbeams always find you out
Like a shining lover
It's as cold as ice and as dark as your deepest dream
Don't look over your shoulder
I see you carry a black rose
Carry a black rose
Carry a black rose
People tell you, "Fade away"
You might as well fade away
Don't you know, the future is your fire anyway
You might as well fade, fade away
What happens is
Your mouth gets dry and you dream a little too much
Baby starts to tremble
She says, "Forever", and you stir in your sleep
Doesn't it show?
Well doesn't she know by now?
You carry a black rose
Carry a black rose
That you carry a rose
Carry a black rose
You carry a black rose
Carry a black rose
I know, I know, I know that you carry a black rose
