Blood and Roses [Original Band Demo][#] Lyrics
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)
Blood and roses (roses)
Blood and roses (roses)
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say
I want to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
October we were wed
In winter time the roses died
Her blood ran cold and then she said
I want to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
I saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say
I tried to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see blood and roses
Blood and roses (roses)
Blood and roses (roses)
Blood and roses (roses)
