Black Roses

                                  Well I met her down in a love struck town

I was just about dead from bein? turned around

Then she took my hand, she made me understand

That I didn?t have to try to show her I?m a man



Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses

Comin?down, no, comin? down around me

In the rain



Oh, baby come on ?



She wore burnin? red slept on a golden (?) bed

And she drank my wine and she soothed my achin? head

Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses

Comin?down, no, comin? down around me

In the rain



I was dressed in black

Hung at a road house shack

And when we left that day

We knew we were never comin? back

I gave you black roses for the very last time

And as we looked out upon the grand highway

The sky began to cry .
