Written by [?] Whoa, hah Yeah Aha Tell you a story of a love I left behind It was a broken fairy tale 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 favorite song 'Til the needle was gone I've taken all I can, You've 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 Sorry situation when your castle's made of sand And it washes out to sea I pushed your love aside Cried my last 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 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 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 thing, 'til it passes you by Like a bird in the sky, spread your wings and fly Oh yeah Yeah yeah yeah Black roses and a bottle of wine Those were the only things that I left behind C'mon keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find All you got are the tears that you cry Black roses and wine
