It was long ago, it seems like yesterday

I saw you standing in the rain

Then I heard you say

I want to love, but it comes out wrong

I want to live, but I don't belong

I close my eyes and i see blood and roses

Flowers in the springtime

October we were wed

Winter time the roses died

you turned to me and said...

I want to love, but it comes out wrong

I want to live, but I don't belong

I close my eyes and i see blood and roses

It was long ago, it seems like yesterday

I saw you standing in the rain

Then I heard you say

I need to love, but it comes out wrong

I tried to live, but I don't belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

Blood and roses

Blood and roses

Blood and roses
