Jimmy Nail Crocodile Shoes Ii Blue Roses



Words and music by paddy mcaloon

Blue roses will blossom in the snow
Before i ever let you go
Blue roses will grow up to the sky
Before i ever make you cry
Blue roses...

You need more reassurance
Than a frightened orphan child
That i'm always gonna want you
That i'll always be beguiled
So i search for words to tell you
That my love for you is blind
But this fragment of a children's song
Is all that i can find

Blue roses will blossom in the snow
Before i ever let you go
Blue roses will grow up to the sky
Before i ever make you cry
Blue roses...

This nursery rhyme is corny,
It is stranded out of time
Yet it's simple and it's honest
The same and since when was that a crime ?
And perhaps whoever wrote it
Loved someone like i love you
For in matters of the heart i've learned
There's little that is new

Blue roses will blossom in the snow
Before i ever let you go
Blue roses will grow up to the sky
Before i ever make you cry
Blue roses...
