Kiss From a Rose
Mig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea
You became a light on the dark side of me
But love remains a drug that's the high and not the pill
But did you know, that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, The more I get of you stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?
But did you know, that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?
But did you know, that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray

Yes, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray




Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray
