Black Roses versuri

Versuri Jim Lauderdale – Black Roses lyrics

Black roses of dreamland vanish at the light
Wrap their petals ‘round them, doze until the night
Not gone forever like flowers of the sun
Blooming for a day or two, life so quickly done

Not as weeping willows cry rain in the wind
The leaves that fell in autumn grow in green again

Black roses of dreamland, black roses of night
Enfold you in their petals, darling child sleep tight

Black roses of dreamland in gardens of red
Blue sun in the firmament, white sky overhead
There’s just one other place black roses belong
Sometimes one will show her face inside of a song

Not any old tune, just in a lullaby
It’s time you were off to sleep, time for her to hide

Black roses of dreamland, black roses of night
Enfold you in their petals, darling child sleep tight

Black roses of dreamland, black roses of night
Enfold you in their petals, darling child sleep tight
