Greatest Thoughts - Blue Roses

This is the fortress that time built

It’s cold and uninviting, well

You stopped by and last night beneath the trailing ivy

These are the shoes that I had wore when there it was on

On that day last winter

You left me frozen and forlorn

I swore I’d never known you better

But oh, you did not know me at all

Til you had seen me fight with the dead of the night

Still you hold me closer to your chest

And you are the one that I like best

I always thought if someone had love for me at all

They would give up the things that I detest

I know you’d never change a thing, not for anyone or anything

But when you cannot spare an hour

Won’t you spare a thought for a dying flower?

And oh, who really knows you at all if you cannot

Talk of your greatest thoughts?

Still you pull me closer to your chest

And you are the one that I love best

So go to the fields and you wait for me

I’ll show you the oath that I used to tread

To tread

High on the hill where the rain came down

Hunching its toes in the cold hard ground

Oh I stood in your shadow

I was jumping and starting at every sound
