Lyrics

Roses

Life is no garden of roses

More like a thistle in time

Sailing past

Waiting for no one this time

Sailing fast

Waiting for no one this time

Now that you've killed me with your eyes

Why did you push me away?

How will I make it without you?

How will I go on my way?

Everything feels cold in the winter

Everything feels cold ...

Life is a garden of roses

Roses just wither and die

Now that you've killed me with your eyes

Why did you push me away?

How will I make it without you?

How will I go on my way?

Life is a garden of roses

Roses just wither and die
