Intro

My love gave me a rose

I threw that rose away

Her pain filled eyes will haunt me

Until my dying day

Verse 1

Your eyes they shone like a thousand stars, when you looked my way

Your hair glowed like the setting sun, fading over the bay

I was too weak to hold on to you, to accept this gift from above

Now roses and angel dust remind me of your love

Chorus

Roses and angel dust, shining like the sun

Roses and angel dust, I knew you were the one

Roses and angel dust, I died as I walked away

Roses and angel dust, you’re with me to this day

Verse 2

It’s just as well, I’ve walked through hell, we’re better off this way

I think of you from time to time, as the wind blows me on my way

Was it a good life, were you a good wife, the roses never say

Just bloom and die, not knowing why, fading at the end of the day

Chorus

Roses and angel dust, shining like the sun

Roses and angel dust, I knew you were the one

Roses and angel dust, I died as I walked away

Roses and angel dust, you’re with me to this day

Bridge

Roses, the color of love, red velvet for a while

Roses die and so will I, I’ll think of you and smile

Angel dust, the magic fury, as fierce as the love in your eyes

Now roses and angel dust, dark tears as time flies

Roses and angel dust, it’s been so long

But you’ll live evermore, deep inside this song

Solo

Chorus

Roses and angel dust, shining like the sun

Roses and angel dust, I knew you were the one

Roses and angel dust, I died as I walked away

Roses and angel dust, you’re with me to this day

Outro

Roses to fill my eyes with beauty and with love

Angel dust to feel the fire as night falls from above

A lost love’s tale, I bring to you, never will I learn

Roses and angel dust, the fire of my love does burn

Roses in the morning, shining every day

Roses die when night falls, I will go away

Did you toss away the one you were meant to be with? "Roses and Angel Dust" is a dark tale of lost love. Looking back on a wild life and realizing that the one you fell for was meant for you. And you walked away for reasons that seem unreal now. Roses for the lost love and angel dust to feel its intensity again. Not for the faint of heart. Upbeat tempo with the introduction of violin to the soundscape. Slower bridge and brooding outro. This song will resonate with all who have loved and lost.
