Lyrics for Roses + Thorns

Mile markers in the night caught me staring at a crescent moon Rain heavy in the clouds, the stars shined like eyes burned blue A moment quiet and calm, tracing lines up and down your palm Waiting for the lightning to strike, a spark before the storm And the months go by in days, hanging luck above our front door The shadows we embraced, all our roses and thorns If the sky should turn I would frame the darkest cloud Heaven, here and now With your hand in mine, no shadow of doubt Whether grey or lightest blue Without rain, would flowers bloom? Because all that's mine is yours, roses and thorns All our roses and thorns When I'm caught in the dark, you hold the sun in the palm of your hand The truth burning bright, everything I want I already have Got serenity in sight, a melody breaking through Calling for you High or low, river flows, valley with a mountain view If the sky should turn I would frame the darkest cloud Heaven, here and now With your hand in mine, no shadow of doubt Whether grey or lightest blue Without rain, would flowers bloom? Because all that's mine is yours, roses and thorns Water so deep, bottom dark blue What's a future unseen with my heart set on you? Our feet left the ledge, so eager to dive Falling fast like stars from the sky
