A field of roses
Burned to grey
The Sun forgot to end the day
Each petal falls a heavy sigh
I watched the garden learn to die

You were the rain
I was the stone
Softly carving
Carving home

Now the sky won't weep
It just stares
A heart once blooming
Now laid bare
If love was soil
It turned to sand
Slipping through my open hand

The wind keeps folding empty air
It hums your name
But you're not there
I held a flame too close to skin
A love so bright
It burned within

You were the river
I was the shore
Always reaching
Wanting more

Now the sky won't weep
It just stares
A heart once blooming
Now laid bare
If love was soil
It turned to sand
Slipping through my open hand
