The Smithereens

It was long ago, it seems like yesterday
i saw you standing in the rain
then i heard you say
I want to love, but it comes out wrong
i want to live, but i don't belong
i close my eyes and i see blood and roses
Flowers in the springtime
october we were wed
winter time the roses died
you turned to me and said...
I want to love, but it comes out wrong
i want to live, but i don't belong
i close my eyes and i see blood and roses

blood and roses
blood and roses
blood and roses
