A Rose Waits V2

Newbie01960

RnB, male and female duet, slap bass, airy female backup, power chorus, beat drop

(Chorus)
And the sun climbs high, then the sun descends
And the water turns to wine
She waits for the touch of her unfaithful friend
While the hours unwind
But her thorns, they find the gentle hands
That mean to hold her close
And they draw the blood of the one who understands,
But don't keep away the hands of the ones who don’t.

(Verse 2)
The noontime heat makes the whole world sigh
The fish jump, then they’re gone
A dragonfly with a jeweled eye
Uses her stem for a throne
She sees a figure in the distant haze
And her petals start to tremble
But it’s quiet danger who stops to gaze
And his careless touch dismembers

(Bridge)
Oh, the ones who pass with a greedy eye
Just grab and tear and steal
They never notice the way she tries
To warn them how she feels 
The one she dissuaded, slow and true
Knows the color of her bloom
And he’d never hurt her, though he don’t know how
To promise he's immune.

(Outro)
The stars come out on a velvet sea
The crickets start their tune
Maybe tomorrow he’ll come back to me
In the silence of the afternoon
And maybe this time my guard will fall
Maybe this time he’ll see
It’s not the thorn that builds the wall
It’s just trying to protect me.
But it's too late to turn back time
Her true reason to be, is long gone
From now till forever, it will be broken destiny.

(Verse 1) The mist lies low on the silver lake As the eastern sky turns gold and pink She unfurls her leaves for the morning’s sake To the song the little warblers sing She feels the dew roll down her face And she turns to face the light Watching for a shadow, a familiar shape That might walk along the dyke (Chorus) And the sun climbs high, then the sun descends And the water turns to wine She waits for the touch of her unfaithful friend While the hours unwind But her thorns, they find the gentle hands That mean to hold her close And they draw the blood of the one who understands, But don't keep away the hands of the ones who don’t.
