And so she'll wait
Amongst her old black roses
Her whole life fading in
And out of the wind

I've loved, I've lost
My dreams were well worth the cost
But my roses have always been around 

Too many lies, too many tears
Too many hopes lost in too many years
Too many tries, such long goodbyes
When it [bad word] 'round we'll always be here

It's cold out there
And frost hides the blue winter air
Her roses lay sleeping in the ground

And so she'll wait
Amongst her old black roses
Her whole life fading in
And out of the wind

Too many lies, too many tears
Too many hopes lost in too many years
Too many tries, such long goodbyes
When it [bad word] 'round we'll always be here
