Ooh, oh yeah
Uh uh

Tell you a story of a lover left behind
Was a broken fairytale
I gave up all my pride
Let love inside
But tore me all apart
When you played with my heart

Let me paint a picture
Of a cold and rainy night
As the candles fade to black
I played our favourite song
'til the needle was gone
I've taken all I can
You played your last hand

Black roses and a bottle of wine
Those were the only things that I left behind
Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are the tears that you cry
Black roses and wine
Oh yeah, yeah

Sorry situation, when you're castle's made of sand
And it washes out to sea
I pushed your love aside
Cried my life's cry
My soul is in bloom
Like flowers in June

Black roses and a bottle of wine
Those were the only things that I left behind
Just keep on searching 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are the tears that you cry
Black roses and wine

(Black roses and a bottle of wine)
And a bottle of wine
(Those were the only things) that I left behind
(Keep searching) 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are the tears that you cry
Black roses and wine

You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry
You don't miss your good things 'til it passes you by
Like a bird in the sky, spread your wings and fly
Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah

(Black roses) and a bottle of wine, yeah
(Those were the only things) that I left behind
Ah, come on
(Keep searching) 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are the tears that you cry
Black roses and wine
