And so she'll wait 
Amongst her old black roses 
Her whole life fading in 
And out of the wind 
I've loved, 
I've lost 
My dreams were well worth the cost 
But my roses have always been around
 
Too many lies, too many tears 
Too many hopes lost in too many years 
Too many tries, such long goodbyes 
When it all comes 'round we'll always be here 
It's cold out there 
And frost hides the blue winter air 
Her roses lay sleeping in the ground 
And so she'll wait 
Amongst her old black roses 
Her whole life fading in 
And out of the wind 
Too many lies, too many tears 
Too many hopes lost in too many years 
Too many tries, such long goodbyes 
When it all comes 'round we'll always be here
