Blue Roses - Jimmy Nail

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 reassurance

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

But it’s simple and it’s honest

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 found

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 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

Before I ever make you cry

Blue roses
