Tell you a story of a love I left behind It was a broken fairy tale I gave up all my pride Let love inside But tore me all apart when you played with my heart
Let me paint a picture of a cold and rainy night As the candles fade to black I played our favourite song 'Til the needle was gone I've taken all I can You've played your last hand
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find All you got are tears that you cry Black roses and wine
Oh yeah
Sorry situation when your' castles made of sand And it washes out to sea I pushed your love aside Cried my last cry My sould is in bloom Like flowers in June
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find All you got are tears that you cry Black roses and wine
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find All you got are tears that you cry Black roses and wine
You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry You don't miss your good thing, 'til it passes you by Like a bird in the sky, spread your wings and fly
Oh yeah Yeah yeah yeah
Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind C'mon keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find All you got are tears that you cry Black roses and wine
