I can´t buy you fancy diamond rings or houses by the sea Can´t give you all your wildest dreams or curiosities Well, all I have to offer is the beating in my chest
Cracks around the edges and my word I´ll do my best
Oh, next to me She´s the rose that never dies Oh, ecstasy It´s the emeralds in her eyes Shining down on me The thorn within my side Only she can see
Ohh Ah-ahh, ah-ah Ah-ah
Well, if Jesus was a preacher, then I´m sure he preached of you And, if the Devil walked the cobbled streets with patches on his shoes
Well, he´d scream out in the darkness, but you would never hear For poisoned words and politics weren´t made for angels´ ears
Oh, next to me She´s the rose that never dies Oh, ecstasy It´s the emeralds in her eyes Shining down on me The thorn within my side Only she can see
(Ohh) When the dark rolls in (Ohh) When the stars don´t shine like they did in my youth (Ohh) When my days have come to an end, oh All that I can prove
Was that the point of me was you Ahh
Oh, next to me She´s the rose that never dies Oh, ecstasy It´s the emeralds in her eyes Shining down on me The thorn within my side Only she can see
