Precious things soon get lost Up on the tracks when two paths cross The lover I had is with another today Tomorrow came when she went away She was a diamond in the vein A crimson flower in the brain I picked my rose for the thorns And hearts get so easily torn I picked my rose for the thorns And lives get so easily torn The years have come the years will go And then with time the years will show I was too young then I'm too old now Oh what I'd give to have them back somehow She was a diamond in the vein A crimson flower in the brain I picked my rose for the thorns And lives get so easily torn I picked my rose for the thorns I know hearts get so easily torn The poison hit me like a shot I knew grace until it stopped Roses bloom before they fade Who loves the needle loves the shade Who loves the needle loves the shade She was a diamond in the vein A crimson flower in the brain But I picked my rose for the thorns And hearts get so easily torn I picked my rose for the thorns I know lives get so easily torn
