Philip Claypool Yellow Rose lyrics

I take such pride, my thoughts are sweet
When I think of you and what you do for me
But deep down inside my soul grows weak
For our lives seem divided incomplete

I'm running full on affection, but I don't know what to do
So it's with best intentions I'll give you
A yellow rose for the friendship, a dozen red for the passion
I'm gonna bind them together in the best way I can fashion

I need more than a lover
Or more than just a friend
I need both of you together
And I'm gonna give love to the end

Deep in your eyes a sea of green

Oh, it's hard to imagine a love so deep
For these tears I cry flow like a stream
For a love once pure gone poison mean

A yellow rose for the friendship

I'm running full affection, but I don't know what to do
So it's with best intentions I'll give you

A yellow rose for the friendship

A yellow rose for the friendship, a dozen red for the passion
