Only The Black Rose lyrics

(Keith Relf)

Gone, gone away,

Gone away,

Almost nothing to do.

Gone away,

Now I`m far from you,

Though I`m alone now,

And there`s nobody near,

I hush my voice,

Lest they should hear;

My prayers go up to the sky,

Deep within me I die,

I`ll never cry,

No-one must see me this way.



Left, left to find,

Someone kind,

Who won`t leave me behind,

Who will guide me,

When I am blind;

Soothe my brow,

When thoughts hurt my brain;

Help me love,

When faced with pain.

I long to find someone who,

Will remind me of you,

Only the black rose knows what I will do.



Silence, silence now,

Not a sound,

Stillness everywhere now,

And the trees,

To the wind gently bow,

Only visions of the past and the gloom,

And for the moment you`re in the room,

And just as flowers bloom and die,

No-one watching to cry,

Only the black rose stands up to the sky.

Only the black rose stands up to the sky.

Only the black rose.
