Black Paper Roses

[Verse 1]
And I hug sorrow to my mind
As a mother to her breast a still-born child

[Chorus]
And of my nights I make black paper roses
And to my afternoons I take fancy balloons

[Verse 2]
I love the silver of your gold
I love the gentle of your day
I love the unexpected tender of your way
I even love the sudden winters of your May

[Chorus]
And of my nights I make black paper roses
And to my afternoons I take fancy balloons

[Verse 3]
I watch and listen to the song
Of how you loved me once, but not for long
Yet in your absence I would love you oncе again
It helps to ease my mind and takеs away the pain

[Chorus]
And of my nights I make black paper roses
And to my afternoons I take fancy balloons
And of my nights I make black paper roses
And to my afternoons I take fancy balloons

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
And of my nights I make black paper roses
And to my afternoons I take fancy balloons
And of my nights I make black paper roses
And to my afternoons I take fancy balloons

[Outro]
And of my nights I make black paper roses
And to my afternoons
