Lyrics

(Keith relf)
Gone, gone away
Gone away
Almost nothing to do
Gone away
Now I'm far from you
Though I'm alone now
And there's nobody near
I hush my voice
Lest they should hear;
My prayers go up to the sky
Deep within me I die
I'll never cry
No-one must see me this way

Left, left to find
Someone kind
Who won't leave me behind
Who will guide me
When I am blind;
Soothe my brow
When thoughts hurt my brain;
Help me love
When faced with pain
I long to find someone who
Will remind me of you
Only the black rose knows what I will do

Silence, silence now
Not a sound
Stillness everywhere now
And the trees
To the wind gently bow
Only visions of the past and the gloom
And for the moment you're in the room
And just as flowers bloom and die
No-one watching to cry
Only the black rose stands up to the sky
Only the black rose stands up to the sky
Only the black rose
