Jimmy Nail - Blue Roses lyrics

Words and music by paddy mcaloon 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 beguiled 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 The same 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...
