The Thorn Upon The Rose

Its taste was sweet like summer wine The heart that beats in double time So he waltzed right in and bowled you over And you're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone The door is closed the lock is turned And all the memories and letters have been burned Chorus So when you pick the handsome flower Don't forget the thron upon the rose It's cut is deep and the scar lasts forever It follows love whereever love goes Just how we fall it's hard to know When what we feel we seldom show So we show the parts we feel are best We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
