Pat DiNizio:
“Blood And Roses” is lyrically about a girl I knew from high school who took her own life. I was walking home from my job as soundman at NYC’s legendary Folk City nightclub through the freezing rain at about four in the morning when the bass line came to me, the chords and melody came...
It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say
I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses
Love flowers in the springtime
October we were wed
In wintertime the roses died
The blood ran cold
And then she said
I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses
It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say
I need your love but it comes out wrong
I try to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
