Who Loves the Shade - Piers Faccini

Precious things soon get lost

Up on the tracks when two paths 'cross

The lover I had is with another today

Tomorrow came when she went away

She was a diamond in the vein

A crimson flower in the brain

I picked my rose for the thorns

And hearts get so easily torn

I picked my rose for the thorns

And ohh lives get so easily torn

The years have come the years will go

And then with time the years will show

I was too young then I'm too old now

Oh what I'd give to have them back somehow

She was a diamond in the vein

A crimson flower in the brain

I picked my rose for the thorns

And lives get so easily torn

I picked my rose for the thorns

I know hearts get so easily torn

The poison hit me like a shot

I knew grace until it stopped

Roses bloom before they fade

Who loves the needle loves the shade

Who loves the needle loves the shade

She was a diamond in the vein

A crimson flower in the brain

But I picked my rose for the thorns

And hearts get so easily torn

I picked my rose for the thorns

I know lives get so easily torn
