Rose Lyrics - Shaun Barrowes

Vs. 1 

This Rose on my shoulder 

Is 20x bolder 

Than love in the absence of everything new 

Her thorns prick with reason 

Her beauty has seasons 

But her love floods the absence of everything true 

Would anybody care to throw away the afternoon 

Trying to figure out a way to live on the moon 

Chorus 

In the wars of change 

The smoke gets in my eyes 

But so long as you stay 

I'm shielded from the fires 

May the world rest in peace 

All the melodies I need 

Are of you 

Vs. 2 

When rock breaks the pavement 

And words kill the statement 

That leads to the cities of silver and gold 

Could I take 3 minutes 

From sermons for winners 

And pull off their blindfolds of silver and gold 

They all surround themselves with waterless clouds 

They string and unstring their violins but they never make a sound 

Chorus (repeated) 

Bridge 

Nothing's absolute 

Everything ends 

Nothing's absolute 

Everything ends 

Except my love 

For your love 

For his love
