Charlus I Carry The Rose lyrics

I've walked the loneliest roads this world has ever known
To find my love

I carry the rose and my heart is open
I just want to feel alive-

Those promises we made
They return a child to the grave
Some things you never forget
Like losing your first love-innocence gone-

Or your parents when they pass away

These things steal into your sleep

And keep you wide-awake

I watched you so sadly when you became lost and tried to save you with my kiss

I whispered poetry into your ear and you laughed
and fell drunk to the floor


Lover don't

Lover don't

Lover, don't grow cold

Indifference kills, its poison spills
Into your memory-

I just hope when I become an old man
I can still find some one to hold
I hope when I grow too old
I can smile at the absurdity of it all

I've walked the loneliest roads this world has ever known
To find my love

I carry the rose and my heart is open
I just want feel alive-
