Prefab Sprout - Blue Roses lyrics

Blue roses will blossom in the snow Before I ever let you go Blue roses will grow up to the sky Before I ever make you cry Blue roses You need more rea**urance than a frightened orphan child That I'm always gonna want you, that I'll always be beguilded So I search for words to tell you That my love for you is blind But this fragment of a children's song is all that I can find Blue roses will blossom in the snow Before I ever let you go Blue roses will grow up to the sky Before I ever make you cry Blue roses This nursery rhyme is corny, it is stranded out of time Yet it's simple and it's honest And since when was that a crime? And perhaps whoever wrote it Loved someone like I love you For in matters of the heart I've learned There's little that is new Blue roses will blossom in the snow Before I ever let you go Blue roses will grow up to the sky Before I ever make you cry Blue roses will blossom in the snow Before I ever let you go Blue roses will grow up to the sky Before I ever make you cry Before I ever make you cry Blue roses
