Her love's a dying rose Sharp thorns in hollow notes Can you see the blood flow Dark mind and winter's cold Daylight is growing old Can you finally let go I turn the page again And I yearn to know the end Our times a waning moon A cold light, an empty room She'll be leaving, leaving soon Don't trace these written lines To her face beneath the pines Can you leave it behind I turn the page again I yearn to know the end Quit all your looking back What's done is done, it's been left in the past You gotta stop yourself from trying to make it last The bitter cup will taste so strong But giving up is no longer your song So keep on, keep on, keep on Why don't you stay Why don't you go Why don't you leave me alone Cause true love is a budding rose Deep flood of melodic tones Can you see the blood flow
