But all that's coming down is rain
For a minute I thought I found it
in your face
Guess I better start again, again
Getting real tired of this chase
Just can't settle for something plain
Running around from place to place
Like a rider on a downbound train
I've always been searching above
Then it hits me from below
Always wanted something holy to love
But the body is all that we know
Sometimes I feel just like a rose in winter
Holding back the snow
Come real close, not too near
Yeah, I want you, but I can't stay here
Time out of season, I'm the last one around
When it gets too cold, I'll go down in the ground
I'm not saying you're a saint
I've still never found one of those
It could be you're an angel
That's something only you and God would know
To me you're like the sunlight
That holds the bloom in the rose
The radiance in the garden
That holds off the wind when it blows
Cause always the seasons will change
And always the ages will roll
And always that time will come
When you have to go
Sometimes I feel just like a rose in winter
Holding back the snow
Come real close, not too near
Yeah, I want you, but I can't stay here
Time out of season, I'm the last one around
When it gets too cold, I'll go down in the ground
So what is the essence of a rose
The flower or the thorn?
What is the essence of living
The dying or the being born?
My petals might be fading
And my coat it might be torn
That doesn't mean I won't make it
To see another new morn
So you get a little older
Time to help the younger ones grow
Teach them not to be so afraid
Of the scars where they show
Sometimes I feel just like a rose in winter
Holding back the snow
Come real close, not too near
Yeah, I want you, but I can't stay here
Time out of season, I'm the last one around
When it gets too cold, I'll go down in the ground
