Yellow Rose lyrics

Spring time, that's the way it goes Don't forget we stole everything and nothing from the earth Winter, came to us in time Shadows and thought crimes Don't display the colours of your birth Didn't they tear you down my yellow rose? Didn't they baby? Didn't they poison everything that grows? Didn't they baby? And when the summer ends, I feel you next to me I sense your tethered limbs still longing to be free My yellow rose I could say it's not like that but memory betrays Everyone who dares to speak too soon I would tell you about it but I can't reason with The tiny child within my past And when the summer ends, I feel you next to me I sense your tethered limbs still longing to be free And with each winter's breath I see you in my dreams I know without your death I never can be free Hold it down and keep it together Hold it down, it can't be forever Memory betrays anyone who dares to speak too soon
