Shadow Of A Single Black Rose

In the garden where the moonlight fades A single black rose starts to sway The petals dark as midnight skies Whispers of a love that never dies Underneath its thorned embrace Lies a secret we can't erase Its shadow stretches, long and cold A story of a heart grown old Oh, the shadow of a single black rose A love that only sorrow knows A beauty born from pain and night In its shadow, we lose the light A single bloom, a fleeting grace Fading softly in this place Oh, the shadow of a black rose A love that time can't ever close The breeze is still, the stars grow dim The rose holds tight, its petals grim No gentle touch can ease the ache Of the love that's left in its wake And though it stands against the rain It only grows in silent pain The world moves on, but it won't forget The shadow of a love unmet Oh, the shadow of a single black rose A love that only sorrow knows A beauty born from pain and night In its shadow, we lose the light A single bloom, a fleeting grace Fading softly in this place Oh, the shadow of a black rose A love that time can't ever close And if you find it, standing tall In the silence of the night's cold call You'll see its shadow on the ground Where broken hearts can still be found A single rose that dares to grow In a world that's lost its glow Its shadow tells a tale untold A love that never will grow old Oh, the shadow of a single black rose A love that only sorrow knows A beauty born from pain and night In its shadow, we lose the light A single bloom, a fleeting grace Fading softly in this place Oh, the shadow of a black rose A love that time can't ever close
