Lyrics
Yellow Rose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 spirit but still
I am sleepless
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...
