He calls her his rose
Shes got a job
But doesnt care
She knows the names of trees
Sees what He sees
Points to the stars
Understands pain

They know that
This time is a time set apart

He wants to climb to the heights
And then shout to the world

He calls her his rose
Shes got a job
But doesnt care
She knows the names of trees
Sees what He sees
Points to the stars
Understands pain

Holding
Hands under the table
Dark falls

Torn from that final embrace
As their hands break away

He calls her his rose

Together alone in the crowd

Only she hears through the storm
As his life slips away

He calls her his rose
Shes got a job
But doesnt care
She knows the names of trees
Feels what He feels
Shouts to the stars
Understands pain

She knows
She knows
She knows the names of trees.
