Poets of the Fall - Roses

[00:10.00] I've walked the distance [00:11.46] I paid my dues and I tried to have a go at what I thought [00:15.01] I knew was real, held no appeal [00:19.77] I've been to places, I've seen the tidings [00:22.53] I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal [00:28.98] And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn [00:38.41] And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn [00:47.84] So when I'm crying alone [00:53.02] Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone [00:57.81] Grow me a garden of roses [01:02.66] Paint me the colors of sky and rain [01:07.56] Teach me to speak with their voices [01:12.15] Show me the way and I'll try again [01:18.96] [01:26.11] I've heard the rumors, started fires [01:28.87] I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need [01:33.42] Behold the demons that I freed [01:35.99] I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat [01:38.63] But healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the seed [01:43.72] And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn [01:54.17] For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn [02:04.19] So when I'm crying alone [02:08.90] Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone [02:13.71] Grow me a garden of roses [02:18.63] Paint me the colors of sky and rain [02:23.43] Teach me to speak with their voices [02:28.10] Show me the way and I'll try again [02:33.29] Without you I'm nothing at all [02:37.67] And life has the face of a morbid game [02:42.76] With you nothing is impossible [02:46.74] It all seems to fit the frame [02:53.41] So when I'm crying alone [02:58.97] Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone [03:03.71] Grow me a garden of roses [03:08.62] Paint me the colors of sky and rain [03:13.34] Teach me to speak with their voices [03:18.04] Show me the way and I'll try again [03:25.51]
