The Black Crowes
Wilted Rose
[Verse 1]
It is time to say farewell, now the black horse has come
And it's time to lay your guns down, raise your hands to the sun
With all your arrows broken, your fate sealed with a kiss
They've gathered all the suspects but there's one that they missed
[Chorus]
She held a wilted rose under a darkening sky
She held a wilted rose, crying when I looked behind
[Verse 2]
Nothing left but dust and the narrowing way
Now there's no one to trust and you like it that way
Like a snake in the water, yeah, that stays underneath
Ready to poison from between her teeth
[Chorus]
She held a wilted rose under a darkening sky
She held a wilted rose, crying when I looked behind
Hear her cry, I can hear her cry
[Bridge]
Oh yeah yeah
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Chorus]
She held a wilted rose under a darkening sky
She held a wilted rose, crying when I looked behind
