THORN UPON THE ROSE  (Mary Black)
-------------------

Its taste was sweet like summer wine
The heart that beats in double time
So he waltzed right in, he bowled you over
And you're still reeling from the feeling
when he's gone
The door is closed the lock is turned
And all the memories and letters have been burned

#Chorus#
So when you pick the handsome flower
Don't forget the thorn upon the rose
Its cut is deep and its scar lasts forever
It follows love wherever love goes

Just how we fall it's hard to know
When what we feel we seldom show
So we show the parts we feel our best
We squirm around the edges trying to over up the rest
And you think you know him and he thinks the same
When underneath it all it's just a crazy guessing game

#Chorus#

Win or lose its just the same
Tears of joy tears of pain
They're hand in hand they come as one
You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
For all the bruises for all the blues
I'll rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose

#Chorus#
