"Hey Rose" lyrics

Hey, Rose
Who put thorns around your heart so nobody else would ever get too close?
Hey, Rose
Did somebody start a fire just to put it out and leave you in the smoke?
Did the one who came before me come along and steal the glory from your soul?
Hey, Rose

You're the kind of growing wild that don't come by the dozen
There's a million colors in your eyes and pretty's just one of them
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

Damn, Rose
I wish it'd been me that caught you when you fell for what you thought might be forever
Sweet Rose
It's too late to stop the rain, but maybe there's a chance for me to be some shelter

'Cause you're the kind of growing wild that don't come by the dozen
There's a million colors in your eyes and pretty's just one of them
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

Just because they're wasted tears don't mean they fell for nothing
Hey, Rose, don't you know

You're the kind of growing wild I wouldn't change for nothing
There's a million colors in your eyes and pretty's just one of them
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

Hey, Rose
Hey, Rose
Hey, Rose
