crown of thorns

it's been a long time,
since i've seen the fire
in your eyes...
when we get together,
there's someone else on
your mind...

i saw a rose,
over by the roadside.
...picked it for you,
got a thorn in my pride...
i saw a sparrow,
...and heard its lonesome
cry.
i could feel the pain,
and woe bottled up inside...
the sky turned black,
then our love died...
   
    ( chorus )
one more time around
the sun,
still not over you...
feel the bite of love.

did you give up on me?
did you give up on love?
did you break down,
when push came to shove?

lying here is so lonesome.
wearing this crown of thorns,
in a bed of roses...

and if i break down,
will you give me one more
chance at love?
and if i lay down,
this crown of thorns,
...baby will it be enough?
with my hands bound,
this bed of roses is,
burning up...
       
      ( chorus )
one more time around the sun,
...still not over you,
feel the bite of love...

did you give up on me?
did you give up on love?
did you break down,
when push came to shove?
