Mary Black - The Thorn Upon The Rose lyrics

rate me

Its taste was sweet like summer wine

The heart that beats in double time

So he waltzed right in and bowled you over

And you're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone

The door is closed the lock is turned

And all the memories and letters have been burned

Chorus

So when you pick the handsome flower

Don't forget the thron upon the rose

It's cut is deep and the scar lasts forever

It follows love whereever love goes

Just how we fall it's hard to know

When what we feel we seldom show

So we show the parts we feel are best

We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest

And you think you know him and he thinks the same

When underneath it all it's just a crazy guessing game

Chorus

Win or lose it's just the same

Tears of joy tears of pain

They're hand in hand they come as one

You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun

For all the bruises for all the blows

I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose

Chorus...
