Sea of roses lyrics full#

now that i am old, the lyrics are so much deeper and so full of memory and loss. she was only 16 years old when killed and i never forget her even though i moved away and had a life. roses were always placed there and i brought a single rose to each visit. i went to her funeral and visited her grave on the anniversary of her death for years.

she was the only casualty in the head on crash. when i first heard this song and its lyric kissed by a rose on the grave, it brought me back to the winter of 1968 when a dear girl friend of mine was killed as a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver. Gord from Toronto, Canadakissed by a rose on the GRAVE, not grey.But he doesn't want to talk about it, so presumably it's over. But anyone who thinks a song as full as love as this could just be about cocaine is missing something. Yes, the 'snow' reference might be about drugs, as a side issue. Martin from EnglandDifficult to believe how many people simply don't get it.

To me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny (yeah) Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah (yeah)Īnd if I should fall, will it all go away? (I've been kissed by a rose on the grey) Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? You remain my power, my pleasure, my painīaby, to me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pillīaby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey You became the light on the dark side of me There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
