Rosary
Troy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of it was his plan
The hope of a dying man
And as you sit next to me
You reach for your rosary
And I ask do you believe?
You said Love's the only certainty

you said hold on your family tree
'cause your mother will cry for me

why did you run
You were so colorful
You were so Beautiful

If you're born in the fire
You will burn
We ain't born any wiser
You will learn
it's getting cold in the water my love
Cold in the water Cold in the water

I was beside myself
When your soul left the room
'Cause you'd talk of mistakes you made
And how you don't want the same for me, no
Hold on love be strong
Cause the tears all still fall at will
And hold tight your family
'Cause they are so colorful

Why did you run
You were so colorful
You were so beautiful

If you're born in the fire
You will burn
We ain't born any wiser
You will learn
it's getting cold in the water
Cold in the water

Colorful
Colorful
