Black Rose Songtext
von J.D. Souther

Well I know it all looks good when you′re starting out
You can see where your heart should go
But somehow every time you lose at love again
The distance between you grows

I can see you carry a black rose
You carry a black rose
You carry a black rose

Those silver moon beams always blind you out
Like a shining lover
It's as cold as ice and as dark as your deepest dream
Don′t look over your shoulder

I see you carry a black rose
You carry a black rose
You carry a black rose

People tell you, "Fade away, you might as well fade away"
Don't you know the, the future is your fire anyway
You might as well fade, fade away


Ah what happens is your mouth gets dry and you dream a little too much
Baby starts to tremble
She says, "Forever" and you stir in your sleep
Doesn't it show?
Well doesn′t she know by now?

(Carry a black rose)
You carry a black rose

(Carry a black rose)
You carry a black rose

(Carry a black rose)
You carry a black rose
(Carry a black rose)
I know, I know, I know that you
(Carry a black rose)
You carry a black rose

(Carry a black rose)
You carry a black rose
(Carry a black rose)
You carry a black rose
(Carry a black rose)
I think you carry a black rose
(Carry a black rose)
