Stephen Bard - Sweet Sad Rose Lyrics

Sweet sad rose
By a river flowing
Sweet sad rose
And you give her knowing
She won't ever be the kind to
Give it back to you
Though it's all that's in your mind there's
Nothing you can do
But that's just how it goes
With a sweet sad rose
In a selfish garden
Sweet sad rose
One can't help but harden
Knowing there's a wall no one could
Ever hope to scale
Sure to give it all despite the
Fact you're bound to fail
And everybody knows
Sweet sad rose
Then there comes an evening
Where the pleasure is so thick
You can't imagine leaving
Without feeling very sick
And after all the heartache she can give
She knows that she's still positively
Haunting from her head down to her painted toes
Sweet sad rose
By your bed undressing
Sweet sad rose
In your head, you're guessing
She won't ever be the kind to
Settle down for good
How you'd love to change her mind as
If anyone could
But it seems no doubt
This dream's about to close
Sweet
Sad
Rose
