Yellow Rose Songtext / Lyric

December 4, 1996 A. Myles/D. Wild



Opening slowly I sit by the water,

I'm broken

There's nothing left to say

Red, Red Roses

All but one yellow bud

The gentle thud of unrequited love...



Am I protected by this thorn in my heart?

What must I have been thinking of?

The roses of recognition

Or the yellow rose of unrequited love...



Here in the aftermath,

Hopes crashed asunder

I wonder, Can I camouflage my sadness?

Begging forgiveness

I don't understand love

How could I not notice my madness?






Red, Red Roses



All but one yellow bud

The gentle thud of unrequited love...



Am I protected by this thorn in my heart?

What must I have been thinking of?

The roses of recognition

Or the yellow rose unrequited love...



Holding my head up

To fight off their glances

I shifted and picked up

My coat and my glasses

Boldly I stood up to everyone's weakness

I've lifted my spirits but still

I am sleepless



Am I protected by this thorn in my heart?

What must I have been thinking of?

The roses of recognition

Or the yellow rose unrequited love...

What must I have been thinking of?
