RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - Rose That Needs Water lyrics

rate me

Let me lay my head on your heart

Let me lay my head on your heart

And you can give this rose some water

You can give this rose some water now

Nothing ever is what it seems

Nothing ever seems what it is

And though I may be sliding by ya

I'm a rose that needs some water now

I've been spinning round my glass ring

Grim personality

Slowly bending towards the shadows of waiting to swallow me

So if thorns are made when wretched

I'm cutting through the chatter

I'm a rose that needs some water now

All the world I'm happy to see

And all the world it's going to be

To maybe find or borrow

A place to put tomorrow's pain

Ocean crossings

Mountains to climb

And history a waste of time

Well she may just set to plunder

This rose that needs some water now

I'll come near you

Eyes beneath your eyes

Where I hope to be

All the blueness

Blue, blue, blueness

Imagine I'll untangle and fashion

So if thorns are made when wretched

I'm cutting through the chatter

I'm a rose that needs some water

Water

Water

Now

Now

Now

Now

Now
