Roses at Night

I want to turn your tears to roses.
I ask what’s wrong and all that ever shows is
Your head bowed and bright eyes streaming;
I would hold you if I weren’t so busy screaming.

Help! Don’t run away from me.
Stop! Dry your tears and let your troubles be.
Come! Let the night replace the day,
As the white is turning gray.
Let the sky fall down and scare us all to sleep.

Your thorny heart is ever-guarded.
I’ve felt abandoned since we cut ties and parted.
I now can feel my wrath’s control.
Just close your eyes and let those petals fall.

Cry! You’re under your own spell.
Love! The night is coming and your heart’s unwell.
Hate! Let the moon’s extinguished light
Let you know you’re not all right.
Let the sky fall down and scare us all to sleep.
