Grey Roses
 
 
Well now baby, it's time to see
Why my heart is trapped inside your eyes
And why tears of love are such surprise
When you steal a kiss from me
All that's offered is not for free
But the world could never steal my prize
And I won't believe it's dirty lies
When they say this love can never be
Your touch frees my troubled soul from strife
And your smiles light it's tired way
It's fingers search the dark for a wife
And found a friend inside the grey
But the colors bloom in new found life
With a rose whose petals demand the beauty of the day
