.
Ive walked the distance, I paid my dues
,
And tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real
, ,
Held no appeal
Ive been to places, Ive seen the tidings
,
I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
,
And so I came to gaze upon the stars
When they were yet unborn
And consequently, tear at my old scars
,
And the mask I had outworn
,
So when Im crying alone
Yeah, when Im cold as a dying stone
, ,
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
( )
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and Ill try again
Ive heard the rumors, started fires
I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need
,
Behold the demons that I freed
,
Ive tried my best at wearing the hard hat
""
But healing doesnt seem to happen
,,
When you hide away the seed
And so I came across the medicine man
And he showed me what Id forlorn
,
For if Im stayed it happens by my own hand
, ,
And my own voice full of scorn
So when Im crying alone
Yeah, when Im cold as a dying stone
, ,
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and Ill try again
Without you Im nothing at all
( )
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing seems impossible
It all seems to fit the frame
So when Im crying alone
Yeah, when Im cold as a dying stone
, ,
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and Ill try again
