Roses
Dreamwalk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What I know, everything I feel,
The sound I hear for you to listen to,
The little ways that get us across the day
In synergy with our existence.
And if I ever turn away to face the inside,
I'll be back in time.
Like the stars, come day, they set at the horizon
But they still shine and

I, I don't know why
Why the roses grow
But I'm sure that one,
One of them's for you.

The letter, a cold reminder of cold days,
It's better, it's perfect now.
The feather that I plucked out of your wings
I have it now, to keep me warm
And if you ever turn away to face the outside,
You'll be back in time.
Like the sun, come night, it sets at the horizon
But it still shines and

I, I don't know why
Why the roses grow
But I'm sure that one,
One of them's for you,
It's for you.

Time on our own is sometimes such a cure,
It's sometimes such a cure...

I, I don't know why
Why the roses grow
I'm sure that one,
One of them's for you...





One of them's for you...
