And Also The Trees - Belief in the Rose lyrics

The rose bows its head From the hedge to the shade, In the whispering calm Of the cool colonnade, Unravelling dreams and deeds As it unfurls the heavy scent I tried to reach, Its poisonous dreams so clear, Where d**h is d**h And joy is joy so sweet. And I forgot your tattered head, Your rain battered dress And I forgot your dark caress... I want your thorns to cut my flesh, My sallow flesh. Your petals fall But your thorns they remain, Though seasons I want For your blood flower again; And wisdom and time they tried To scorn your world But in the rose I will believe, Your pleasure, your pain, your dreams Where d**h is d**h And joy is joy so sweet.
