Black Rose Songtext
von J.D. Souther

Oh, I know it all looks good
When you′re starting out
You can see where your heart should go
But somehow every time
You lose at love again
The distance between you grows
I can see you carry a black rose


Ah, those silver moonbeams
Always find you out
Like a shining lover
It's as cold as ice
And as dark as your deepest dream
Don′t look over your shoulder
I see you carry a black rose

People tell you, fade away
You might as well fade away
Don't you know, the future is your fire anyway
You might as well fade...
Fade away


But what happens is...
Your mouth gets dry
And you dream a little too much
And baby starts to tremble
She says "forever"
And you stir in your sleep
Doesn't it show?
Doesn′t she know by now?...
You carry a black rose.
