lyrics

BLOOD AND ROSES

tonight
let's take a drive out and look around
it's something hidden
underneath the leaves on the autumn ground
time and time again
haunted winds will bring us in
we are down, we suppose
for the blood and roses

in this, we last too long
come forty-three, we still can see
for what we bring along
is disaster in the form of pleas
break your silence, break the line
that keeps you feelin' fine
we are down, we suppose
for the blood and roses

rise above
all the blood and roses

stage your grace
on the field of nothing
bigger than us all
we lie awake
and think about the space
beyond our darkest wall
underneath our nose
rae the blood and roses

just off the cuff
we feel it burn
from our head down to our toes
we're looking up
we feel the yearn
in the blood and roses

-1/26/07 & 1/25/16
