Charlus - I CARRY THE ROSE lyrics

rate me

I CARRY THE ROSE

I’ve walked the loneliest roads this world has ever known

To find my love

I carry the rose and my heart is open

I just want to feel alive-

Those promises we made

They return a child to the grave

Some things you never forget

Like losing your first love-innocence gone-

Or your parents when they pass away

These things steal into your sleep

And keep you wide-awake

I watched you so sadly when you became lost and tried to save you with my kiss

I whispered poetry into your ear and you laughed

and fell drunk to the floor

Lover don’t

Lover don’t

Lover, don’t grow cold

Indifference kills, its poison spills

Into your memory-

I just hope when I become an old man

I can still find some one to hold

I hope when I grow too old

I can smile at the absurdity of it all

I’ve walked the loneliest roads this world has ever known

To find my love

I carry the rose and my heart is open

I just want feel alive-

<br />

<br />
