Once a human rose was born
|
But she grew to be a thorn
|
Piercing hearts of loving men
|
One will never love again
|
|
He who died won't feel the loss
|
She must live and bear the cross
|
Fortune holds a tearful hour
|
For him who'd love the passion flower
|
|
Passion flower, the fates have spoken
|
You alone must pay the cost
|
Passion flower, your heart is broken
|
Aching for the one you loved and lost
|
|
But Angel hands are ever mending
|
Broken hearts within their power
|
Heaven holds a happy ending
|
For a lonely passion flower
|
