Thorned Rose Video (MV)

The trees cast off their covering with autumn leaves ablaze watch them burn
Watch them light the night
While my heart sits in the darkened earth away from longing gaze and time will turn
It's hidden from your light

You're the yellow bird in the coalmine of my heart
You're the orange flame in the night to light the way
You're the red brick road where I drag my laden cart
I'm just a thorned rose, my colors fade

I have been too selfish to tell you it's all right, come my dear
There's no need to cry
I have said I love you, that there's no need to fear but it's too late
In the vase I'll dry

You're the yellow bird in the coalmine of my heart
You're the orange flame in the night to light the way
You're the red brick road where I drag my laden cart
I'm just a thorned rose, my colors fade

If I was a garden I would bundle every bloom and call the crows
My crumbling shame to hide
One final bouquet emerges from the dust plume, now nothing grows
It has cracked and dried

You're the yellow bird in the coalmine of my heart
You're the orange flame in the night to light the way
You're the red brick road where I drag my laden cart
I'm just a thorned rose, my colors fade
