White Rose

(album: Emergency - 1983)

How come we feel the way we do?
How come we think as one, we two?
Like warm sunsets within our hearts
There's nothing in the real world
Could tear our love apart

Each season's born behind your eyes
Without your strength, my purpose dies
And if indeed, the soul remains
Let's leave within this lifetime
Two seeds beneath the rain

So we'll look for the white rose you and me
When we're both beyond this lifetime
Then we'll both become the seed
And if you leave this world tomorrow
Or if I leave this world today
You'll find me as the white rose
And I'll find you the same way

Rest assured I need your arms
I'll need them more in years to come
We'll wrap ourselves around our lives
And plant our hearts together
Before we see the other side
When lovers die in fairy tales
The "once upon a time" just fades
As children grow, like flowers wild
We could go on forever
Never fade away

So we'll look for the white rose you and me
When we're both beyond this lifetime
Then we'll both become the seed
And if you leave this world tomorrow
Or if I leave this world today
You'll find me as the white rose
And I'll find you the same way

And the thorns won't ever make you bleed
No, the stem that's you holds the flower that's me

So we'll look for the white rose you and me
When we're both beyond this lifetime
Then we'll both become the seed
And if you leave this world tomorrow
Or if I leave this world today
You'll find me as the white rose
And I'll find you the same way
