A field of roses Burned to grey The sun forgot to end the day Each petal falls a heavy sigh I watched the garden learn to die You were the rain I was the stone Softly carving Carving home Now the sky won't weep It just stares A heart once blooming Now laid bare If love was soil It turned to sand Slipping through my open hand The wind keeps folding empty air It hums your name But you're not there I held a flame too close to skin A love so bright It burned within You were the river I was the shore Always reaching Wanting more Now the sky won't weep It just stares A heart once blooming Now laid bare If love was soil It turned to sand Slipping through my open hand
