Harley - Distant Love lyrics

If I were a rose (And you the sun) I would open at each sunrise To spread my petals out before you In longing welcome If you were the sun (And I a rose) You would warm me (though from afar) And I would worry on cloudy days About your return Like the sun You are only known by how you make me feel And, like a rose, I appear lovely But am guarded by thorns (I can never be harmed by you Yet I will never be held)
