It was long ago, it seems like yesterday
I saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

I want your love, but your love's too strong
I need your love but I don't belong

I close my eyes and I see blood and roses

Flowers in the springtime, October we were wed
Wintertime the roses died,
You turned to me and said . . . .
