I heard your echo

As I walked these halls

I saw your picture

On the stone cold walls

I remembered you telling me

Your love would never die

And then you turned your back and said

Good luck and goodbye



And you gave me a black rose

And my heart turns dark as a storm grows

And where you've gone only heaven knows

I feel so blue knowing you

Gave me a black rose



I saw you taillights

Fading down the street

I held that black rose

And it smelled so sweet

A thorn cut my fingertip

I hurt so deep inside

And I tasted the bad blood of

A good love that died



And you gave me a black rose

And my heart turns dark as a storm grows

And where you've gone only heaven knows

I feel so blue knowing you

Gave me a black rose



And you gave me a black rose

And where you've gone only heaven knows

And I now live where no angel goes

I feel so blue knowing you

Gave me a black rose

A black rose
