Blue Roses Lyrics - Crocodile Shoes Ii - Jimmy Nail

Blue roses will blossom in the snow 

Before I ever let you go 

Blue roses will grow up to the sky 

Before I ever make you cry, blue roses 

You need more reassurance 

Than a frightened orphan child 

That I'm always gonna want you 

That I'll always be beguiled 

So I search for words to tell you 

That my love for you is blind 

But this fragment of a children's song 

Is all that I can find 

Blue roses will blossom in the snow 

Before I ever let you go 

Blue roses will grow up to the sky 

Before I ever make you cry, blue roses 

This nursery rhyme is corny 

It is stranded out of time 

But it's simple and it's honest 

And since when was that a crime? 

And perhaps whoever wrote it 

Loved someone like I love you 

For in matters of the heart I've found 

There's little that is new 

Blue roses will blossom in the snow 

Before I ever let you go 

Blue roses will grow up to the sky 

Before I ever make you cry 

Blue roses will blossom in the snow 

Before I ever let you go 

Blue roses will grow up to the sky 

Before I ever make you cry 

Before I ever make you cry, blue roses
