I saw you in the garden, I wanted you so much

But the lows have drowned the highs away now there's nowhere else to go

Black rose your thorns are cutting into me for the last time

Black rose I watched your petals wilt away

I never wanted you to have to be alone

But I couldn't find a way to help you grow,
C5
Black Rose.
