hold me close and

hold me fast

you shine like sunlit glass

tu es ma vie, ma rose

when I bleed you take me in

and stain your petals thin

pourtant tu es ma vie, ma rose


hold me close and

hold me last

in an empty meadow vast

parce que tu es ma rose

when you whisper heaven’s songs

the clouds I’m falling on

tu es ma vie, ma rose


hold me close and

hold me past

the thorns in frosted casts

épines et roses, tu es ma vie

when the sun does shine again

we’re where we’ve always been
​
parce que tu es ma rose
