[Verse 1]
Darling, I've been trying to hold you down
Though the fear within my heart still lingers round
Darling, I am hoping to see your face
Every Sunday morn' in my embrace

[Pre-Chorus]
And though the fear within my heart still drives me over the edge
It is you that I want to hold me in bed
And should the sun shine tomorrow I'll be holding my head
'Cause I'll be hoping for raindrops instead

[Chorus]
Fresh roses in my garden need the rain
I've been hoping for clouds, but the sun remains
Fresh roses in my garden need the rain
Heaven sent me your love, but it keeps me chained

[Verse 2]
Darling, I was searching for the light within
When you came on and placed my world in a spin
I was aching when you came around
Funny how things work, how my world was upside down

[Pre-Chorus]
And though the fear within my heart still drives me over the edge
It is you that I want to hold me in bed
And should the sun shine tomorrow I'll be holding my head
'Cause I'll be hoping for raindrops instead
[Chorus]
Fresh roses in my garden need the rain
I've been hoping for clouds, but the stars remain
Fresh roses in my garden need the rain
Heaven sent me your love, but it keeps me chained

[Bridge]
I'll bide my time and I will wait
Patiently for the day
When the clouds are dark and the skies are red
To feel your love over me

[Chorus]
Fresh roses in my garden need the rain
I've been hoping for clouds, but the sun remains
Fresh roses in my garden need the rain
Heaven sent me your love, but it keeps me chained
