Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
Oh nurturing years of so long
When I was a boy I planted a garden
That mean so much to me
One of reality
A garden of love, none like this before
One of a kind quality
A prayer for you and me
Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
Oh nurturing years of so long, so long
Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
They say a stranger treated them wrong
If we can keep the candles burning
To shelter them from pain
Oh let's them laugh again
Shower the world with their innocence
Who's tears felt like rain
History remains the same
But one by one they come up missing
Strangers thought, strangers thought I was sleeping
Some life, some life mean nothing to some people
Watch out now we've got them on the run, on the run
Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
Oh nurturing years of so long
Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
They say a stranger treated them wrong
Tell me whatever happen to my garden of black roses
Will someone help me sing this song?
I haven't seem them for so long
So long, my black roses
Where have you been?
Will someone save my, my black roses?
A precious black roses, night and day
I hear the children cry and they say
Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
Oh nurturing years of so long, so long
Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
They say a stranger treated them wrong
Whatever happen to my garden of black roses
Will someone help me sing this song?
