| Well I met her down
|
| In a love struck town
|
| I was just about dead
|
| From bein' turned around
|
| And she took my hand
|
| She made me understand
|
| That I didn’t have to try
|
| To show her I’m a man
|
| Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
|
| Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
|
| In the rain
|
| Oh, baby come on
|
| She wore burnin' red
|
| Slept on a golden bed
|
| And she drank my wine
|
| And she soothed my achin' head
|
| Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
|
| Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
|
| In the rain
|
| Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
|
| Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
|
| In the rain
|
| I was dressed in black
|
| Hung at a road house shack
|
| And when we left that day
|
| We knew we were never comin' back
|
| I gave you black roses for the very last time
|
| And as we looked out upon the grand highway
|
| The sky began to cry
|
| Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
|
| Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
|
| In the rain
|
| Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
|
| Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
|
| In the rain
|
| Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
|
| Comin' down, oh, comin' down around me
|
| In the rain |
