Lori Cunningham - Tears Of A Rose lyrics

rate me

Swim across these oceans, I'll swim across these seas<br />

Will not forsake the air I'll gently cease to breathe<br />

<br />

Drink you till my thirst subsides<br />

Hide in you till all of my fears die<br />

Dry my tears and let us abide<br />

Hold you sweet and dear by my side<br />

<br />

Crawl on my knees to reach your body?s sweet content<br />

Reach out the palm of your gentle hand<br />

Shelter me beyond the rains and storms<br />

Carry me lifeless I won?t cry at all<br />

Believe in these words as they fill up this pain<br />

Pure and real<br />

In your shadows they awake<br />

<br />

I drowned in you, I lost the shore<br />

And shadows fell, the sky no more<br />

My hope is lost, downcast and blue<br />

Collect my tears as tears of a rose I'd cry for you.<br />

<br />

Like thirsty leaves of swaying trees<br />

Dying now to finally be free<br />

Dry your tears and let us abide<br />

Hold me sweet and dear by your side<br />

<br />

Promise once to still remember me.<br />

<br />

A breath away, I fell through you<br />

I fell through you, my breath away?<br />

<br />

? Rose 2008<br />
