The Smithereens - Blood And Roses

It was long ago, it seems like yesterday

Saw you standing in the rain

Then I heard you say

I want to love, but it comes out wrong

I want to live, but I don't belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

Wild flowers in the springtime

October we were wed

In winter time the roses died

Her blood ran cold and then she said

I want to love, but it comes out wrong

I want to live, but I don't belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

It was long ago, it seems like yesterday

I saw you standing in the rain

Then I heard you say

I need your love, but it comes out wrong

I tried to live, but I don't belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

Blood and roses (roses)
