Well I met her down in a love struck town
I was just about dead from bein' turned around
Then she took my hand, she made me understand
That I didn't have to try to show her I'm a man
Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin'down, no, comin' down around me
In the rain
Oh, baby come on …
She wore burnin' red slept on a golden (?) bed
And she drank my wine and she soothed my achin' head ,p> Oh, everywhere, everywhere black roses
Comin'down, no, comin' down around me
In the rain
I was dressed in black
Hung at a road house shack
And when we left that day
We knew we were never comin' back
I gave you black roses for the very last time
And as we looked out upon the grand highway
The sky began to cry .
