BLUE ROSES
       
      Words and music by Paddy McAloon
      
      blue roses will blossom in the snow
      before I ever let you go
      blue roses will grow up to the sky
      before I ever make you cry
      blue roses...
      
      you need more reassurance
      than a frightened orphan child
      that I'm always gonna want you
      that I'll always be beguiled
      so I search for words to tell you
      that my love for you is blind
      but this fragment of a children's song
      is all that I can find
      
      blue roses will blossom in the snow
      before I ever let you go
      blue roses will grow up to the sky
      before I ever make you cry
      blue roses...
      
      this nursery rhyme is corny,
      it is stranded out of time
      yet it's simple and it's honest
      the same and since when was that a crime ?
      and perhaps whoever wrote it
      loved someone like I love you
      for in matters of the heart I've learned
      there's little that is new
      
      blue roses will blossom In the snow
      before I ever let you go
      blue roses will grow up to the sky
      before I ever make you cry
      blue roses...
