I collect roses from up in her head That is my sacred duty Botanical gardens of thorn that I tread To seek forgotten beauty Stealing bouquets to lay under her bed That she may find in the morning She wonders why my hands are bloodied and red I tell her, "My love, I've been working."

Roses
I collect roses from up in her head That is my sacred duty Botanical gardens of thorn that I tread To seek forgotten beauty Stealing bouquets to lay under her bed That she may find in the morning She wonders why my hands are bloodied and red I tell her, "My love, I've been working."
