A Rose That Needs Some Water Lyrics - Rufus Wainwright

Let me lay my head on your heart 

Let me lay my head on your heart 

And you can give this rose some water 

You can give this rose some water now 

Nothing ever is what it seems 

Nothing ever seems what it is 

And though I may be sliding by ya 

I'm a rose that needs some water now 

I've been spinning round my glass ring 

Grim personality 

Slowly bending towards the shadows 

Of waiting to swallow me 

So if thorns are made when wretched 

I'm cutting through the chatter 

I'm a rose that needs some water now

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

All the world I'm happy to see 

And all the world it's going to be 

To maybe finally borrow 

A place to put tomorrow's pain 

Ocean crossings, mountains to climb 

And history a waste of time 

Well she may just have to plunder 

This rose that needs some water now 

I'll come near you 

Eyes beneath your eyes 

Where I hope to be 

All the blue knots 

Blue blue blue knots 

Imagine I'll untangle in fashion 

Where you can look at me 

Photos 

So if thorns are made when wretched 

I'm cutting through the chatter 

I'm a rose that needs some water 

Water, water now...
