Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I walked the distance, I paid my dues
And I try to have a go where what I thought I knew was real
Held no appeal
I been to places, I seen the tidin's
I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
[Verse 2]
And so I came to gaze upon the stars
When they were yet unborn, and
Consequently tear at my old scars
And the mask I had outworn
[Verse 3]
So when I'm cryin' alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dyin' stone
[Verse 4]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way, and I'll try again
[Verse 5]
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
[Verse 6]
I heard the rumors that started fires
I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need
Behold the demons that I freed
I tried my best at wearing my hardhat
But healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the seed
[Verse 7]
And so I came across the medicine man
And he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed, it happens by my own hand
And my own voice full of scorn
[Verse 8]
So when I'm cryin' alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dyin' stone
[Verse 9]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way, and I'll try again
[Verse 10]
Without you, I am nothin' at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you, nothin' is impossible
It all seems to fit the frame
[Verse 11]
So when I'm cryin' alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dyin' stone
[Verse 12]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way, and I'll try again
[Verse 13]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way, and I'll try again
[Verse 14]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way, and I'll try again
