Blood And Roses

The Smithereens

It was long ago
It seems like yesterday
I saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

"I want to love, but it comes out wrong. 
I want to live, but I don't belong."
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses

I brought flowers in the springtime
October, we were wed
In winter time, the roses died
Her blood ran cold, and then she said, 

"I want to love, but it comes out wrong.
I want to live, but I don't belong."
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses

It was long ago
It seems like yesterday
I saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say, 

"I need your love, but it comes out wrong.
I've tried to live, but I don't belong."
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses
