lyrics

Roses / Bees

You say no-one loves me more
Trailing roses round my door
You came blindly, you came strange
Drowning pools of joy and pain

You say death is not the end
You say sex is not our friend
You have walked on holy ground
You have whispered in the crowd

You send arrows through my windows
You put ropes around my shadows
You see meaning in my silences
Silences and moods

Pouring scorn like boiling oil
Flowing sadness down my walls
You are the sunshine in the trees
You are the buzzing of the bees
