Lyrics

Roses and Angel Dust

My love gave me a rose
I threw that rose away
Her pain filled eyes will haunt me
Until my dying day

Your eyes they shone like a thousand stars, when you looked my way
Your hair glowed like the setting sun, fading over the bay
I was too weak to hold on to you, to accept this gift from above
Now roses and angel dust remind me of your love

Roses and angel dust, shining like the sun
Roses and angel dust, I knew you were the one
Roses and angel dust, I died as I walked away
Roses and angel dust, you’re with me to this day

It’s just as well, I’ve walked through hell, we’re better off this way
I think of you from time to time, as the wind blows me on my way
Was it a good life, were you a good wife, the roses never say
Just bloom and die, not knowing why, fading at the end of the day

Roses and angel dust, shining like the sun
Roses and angel dust, I knew you were the one
Roses and angel dust, I died as I walked away
Roses and angel dust, you’re with me to this day

Roses, the color of love, red velvet for a while
Roses die and so will I, I’ll think of you and smile
Angel dust, the magic fury, as fierce as the love in your eyes
Now roses and angel dust, dark tears as time flies
Roses and angel dust, it’s been so long
But you’ll live evermore, deep inside this song

Roses and angel dust, shining like the sun
Roses and angel dust, I knew you were the one
Roses and angel dust, I died as I walked away
Roses and angel dust, you’re with me to this day

Roses to fill my eyes with beauty and with love
Angel dust to feel the fire as night falls from above
A lost love’s tale, I bring to you, never will I learn
Roses and angel dust, the fire of my love does burn
Roses in the morning, shining every day
Roses die when night falls, I will go away
