Jeannie C Riley Roses And Thorns Lyrics

Roses And Thorns Lyrics

There are the roses and there are the thorns



There's a time for happiness and there's a time to mourn



There's a time to love then when love is faded and worn



Oh oh instead of the roses there are the thorns







Once there was spring and the flowers were gentle and sweet



I inhaled the goodness of love and my life was complete



I reached for a rose and its petals were crushed by my touch



Oh oh I love too hard and the thorns are now hurtin' too much







Winter comes on with no mercy for those unpreapared



Coldness creaps in on a heart that a dead love needs bared



Loving too much leaves a wreckage like that of a storm



Yes it does instead of the roses now I am holding the thorns







Roses and thorns so close together they grow



Fladness and sadness emotiones that everyone knows



When there is one the other can't be far behind oh no



I've held the rose and the stem with the thorns is now mine







Roses and thorns so close together...
