Only the Black Rose

[Verse 1]

Gone, gone away, gone away

Almost nothing to do

Gone away, now I'm far from you

Though I'm alone now and there's nobody near

I hush my voice, 'lest they should hear

My prayers go up to the sky

Deep within me I die

I'll never cry, no one must see me this way

[Verse 2]

Left, left to find someone kind

Who won't leave me behind

Who will guide me when I am blind

Soothe my brow when thoughts hurt my brain

Help me laugh when faced with pain

I long to find someone who

Will remind me of you

Only the black rose knows what I will do

[Verse 3]

Silence, silence, now, not a sound

Stillness everywhere now

And the trees to the wind gently bow

Only visions of the past and the gloom

And for the moment, you're in the room

And just as flowers bloom and die

No one watching to cry

Only the black rose stands up to the sky

[Outro]

Only the black rose stands up to the sky

Only the black rose
