lyrics

(Tim O'Connor & Debbie Pullen)

There were roses laying on your floor,
And I wonder what they mean.
I see them through the open door,
And think what might have been.
I walk through your empty house,
a breeze blows through the windows,
I know you're never coming back,
and it's time for me to go.
Yes it's time for me to go.

Prick my finger on the roses thorn, watch as it bleeds.
Wonder now if we'll be reborn.
Will I follow where you lead?
Will I follow where you lead?

There was joy then in your loving arms,
I thought it strong and right.
But you darkened through those precious times,
Turned sunshine into night.
As the pain eats away in my soul,
I breathe back a tear.
I can't cry for you anymore
Now it's time I wasn't here.
Yes it's time I wasn't here.

Prick my finger on the roses thorn, watch as it bleeds.
Wonder now if we'll be reborn.
Will I follow where you lead?
Will I follow where you lead?

I can leave now as the sun goes down,
but we cannot say goodbye.
Too much times past, too many tears.
There's darkness in you and I.
As I leave here I can hear your voice, a ghost from the past.
But I'm broken never looking back.
Can I be at peace at last ?
Can I be at peace at last?

Prick my finger on the roses thorn, watch as it bleeds.
Wonder now if we'll be reborn.
Will I follow where you lead?
Will I follow where you lead?
