Blood Red Rose |
| In the hour before sunrise |
| When the shadows hustle home |
| And the owls dream of day-break |
| And the redwoods softly moan |
| I have often begged for magic |
| To bring my true love home |
| But the sunrise only shows |
| How well my garden grows |
| In the heat of a single blood-red rose |
| These eyes, no good for darkness |
| Rely upon the tenderness |
| Of shadows for their passion |
| And the branches slowly twist |
| Tangled promise with a kiss |
| Only lovers can imagine |
| I have often begged for morning |
| Confessing all she knows |
| But the sunrise only shows |
| How well my garden grows |
| In the heat of a blood-red rose |
| In the hours of my morning |
| In the vision of the light |
| Lay the afternoon and evening |
| And a promise of the night |
| I have often begged for darkness |
| To still these trembling hands |
| But the sunrise only shows |
| How well my garden grows |
| In the heat of the blood-red sand |
