Story Behind the Song
This song is for my sweetheart. It was recorded on my new toy, the digitech GNX3. It is just a demo.
Lyrics
BLACK ROSE
The curtains rise on a forest, a river, a tune
And then a girl in chorus, running from the moon
She flies through darkness guided by the song
Of a minstrel by the water with no will to carry on
You are my Black Rose, my midnights, my stars
You are golden girl, like sunlight on my heart
He thinks she’s a spirit sent to lead him on his way
To the underworld, to Hades, where forever he will stay
She tells him she’s just a woman who wants to fly somewhere
But he knows she’s so much more and his song fills the air
You are my Black Rose, my midnights, my stars
You are golden girl, like sunlight on my heart
Bridge:
Sometimes in the night I heard you calling me
I reached out through the darkness but you weren’t next to me
Now here you are before me to sweep away despair
With honesty and laughter, and love enough to share
The Black Rose, she listens, until his work is done
And with her lips, she christens, the ship he made of song
The poet climbs aboard and takes her hand in his
She steps up to her reward and claims him with a kiss
You are my Black Rose, my midnights, my stars
You are golden girl, like sunlight on my heart
The music fades, the lights go dim, the curtain falls, the end.
