Future Islands - Black Rose
Lead not for loss
And you'll bleed not for long
Lost in streets unnamed by your fate
Go unplayed all the records you've reclaimed
But it's easy in the winter
Where the white smoke
Rises slow like finding something waiting
Where no one goes
It makes a sound like dying
Was it trying to say
I'd give you all and diamonds
just for one more replay
Just one chance to say
Keep me close I'll never weep
My love's asleep
I've kept it close and guarded tight
From dead of night
And laid a cross of iron dross upon my door
The way you laid across our
bed some time before
In the winter
There's a black rose
Its beauty something blinding
Curling wilding
Through the white snow
It makes me feel like diamonds
Was it dying to say
I'll give you all but silence
just for one more replay
Just one chance to say
As my lover goes my garden grows
As she looks away I hear her say
As my garden grows my lover goes
As we look away I hear him say
Stay
