Lyrics for Through the Roses
Three o'clock, beginning of the winter night Through the glass, I watched it when I was a child And I knew that night I would sleep And the birds would sing to me But I could not quite believe that I was there When the birds sang all night long And you slept so deeply on But I could not quite believe It was you and me No one knows me, no one knows you Walking, walking through the roses Don't look back or step aside Don't go to the woods tonight No one knows me, no one knows you Walking, walking through the roses Don't look back or step aside Don't go to the woods tonight (And we're) no one knows me, no one knows you (Lost in time) walking, walking through the roses Don't look back or step aside (but I could not quite believe that it was you) Don't go to the woods tonight Don't go to the woods, Claire (when the birds sang all night long) Something's waking you in your dream (and you slept so deeply on) No one knows me, no one knows you (but I could not quite believe it was you and me) Walking, walking through the roses No one knows me, no one knows you (and I knew that night I would see) Walking, walking through the roses (in the heat I'd sing to me) Don't look back or step aside (well, I could not quite believe) Don't go to the woods tonight (someone was there)
