I heard your echo
As I walked these halls
I saw your picture
On the stone cold walls

I remembered you telling me
Your love would never die
And then you turned your back and said
Good luck and goodbye

And you gave me a black rose
And my heart turns dark as a storm grows
And where you've gone only heaven knows
I feel so blue knowing you
Gave me a black rose

I saw you taillights
Fading down the street
I held that black rose
And it smelled so sweet
A thorn cut my fingertip
I hurt so deep inside
And I tasted the bad blood of
A good love that died

And you gave me a black rose
And my heart turns dark as a storm grows
And where you've gone only heaven knows
I feel so blue knowing you
Gave me a black rose

And you gave me a black rose
And where you've gone only heaven knows
And I now live where no angel goes
I feel so blue knowing you
Gave me a black rose
A black rose
