Blue Roses Greatest Thoughts Lyrics

This is the fortress that time built
It's cold and uninviting, well
You stopped by and last night beneath the trailing ivy

These are the shoes that I had wore when there it was
on
On that day last winter
You left me frozen and forlorn
I swore I'd never known you better

But oh, you did not know me at all
Til you had seen me fight with the dead of the night
Still you hold me closer to your chest
And you are the one that I like best
I always thought if someone had love for me at all
They would give up the things that I detest

I know you'd never change a thing, not for anyone or anything
But when you cannot spare an hour
Won't you spare a thought for a dying flower?

And oh, who really knows you at all if you cannot
Talk of your greatest thoughts?
Still you pull me closer to your chest
And you are the one that I love best
So go to the fields and you wait for me,
I'll show you the oath that I used to tread
To tread

High on the hill where the rain came down
Hunching its toes in the cold hard ground
Oh I stood in your shadow
I was jumping and starting at every sound
