Yellow Rose Lyrics - Arival - Alannah Myles

Hopelessly watching and waiting 

To see if my lover has turned to walk away 

Opening slowly I sit by the water, I'm broken 

There's nothing left to say 

Red, red roses, all but one yellow bud 

The gentle thud of unrequited love 

Am I protected by this thorn in my heart? 

What must I have been thinking of? 

The rose of recognition 

Or the yellow rose of unrequited love 

Here in the aftermath, hopes crashed asunder 

I wonder, can I camouflage my sadness? 

Begging forgiveness, I don't understand love 

How could I not notice my madness? 

Red, red roses, all but one yellow bud 

The yellow rose of unrequited love 

Am I protected by this thorn in my heart? 

What must I have been thinking of? 

The rose of recognition 

Or the yellow rose of unrequited love 

Holding my head up to fight off their glances 

I shifted and picked up my coat and my glasses 

Boldly I stood up to everyone's weakness 

I've lifted my spirits but still I am sleepless 

Red, red roses, all but one yellow bud 

The yellow rose of unrequited love 

Am I protected by this thorn in my heart? 

What must I have been thinking of? 

The rose of recognition 

Or the yellow rose of unrequited love 

What must I have been thinking of?
