Mary Black - 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
