In the garden a rose did bloom
Red as blood in a silent room
Its petals soft like a lover's sigh
But fate was set it was meant to die
The sun would shine upon its face
But shadows lurked in this hidden place
A gentle breeze tried to console
The rose's heart that was turning cold
Oh rose your story's a sad refrain
A love that's lost in the pouring rain
Your petals fall like teardrops from above
A tragic end to a tender love
Rose rose in your beauty's decline
Your love a memory so hard to define
In the garden of life you once did shine
Now you're fading a tragic shrine
Rose rose your fragrance has gone
Leaving behind a love that's unsung
The thorns remain a painful song
Of a love that was but now is wrong
Rose rose in your beauty's decline
Your love a memory so hard to define
In the garden of life you once did shine
Now you're fading a tragic shrine
Rose rose your fragrance has gone
Leaving behind a love that's unsung
The thorns remain a painful song
Of a love that was but now is wrong
