Its taste was sweet like summer wine
|
The heart that beats in double time
|
So he waltzed right in and bowled you over
|
And you're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone
|
The door is closed the lock is turned
|
And all the memories and letters have been burned
|
|
Chorus
|
|
So when you pick the handsome flower
|
Don't forget the thron upon the rose
|
It's cut is deep and the scar lasts forever
|
It follows love whereever love goes
|
|
Just how we fall it's hard to know
|
When what we feel we seldom show
|
So we show the parts we feel are best
|
We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
|
And you think you know him and he thinks the same
|
When underneath it all it's just a crazy guessing game
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Win or lose it's just the same
|
Tears of joy tears of pain
|
They're hand in hand they come as one
|
You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
|
For all the bruises for all the blows
|
I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose
|
|
Chorus...
