Black Roses

Reggae.

Whatever happened to my garden of black roses?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, nurturing years of so long, yeah.

When I was a boy, I planted a garden, yeah.

That meant so much to me, one of reality, yeah.

A garden of love, none like this before, no, no

One of a kind quality, yeah

A prayer for you and me, oh

Whatever happened to my garden of black roses, oh

Nurturing years of so long, no, no, no, oh

Whatever happened to my garden of black roses?

They say a stranger treated them wrong

If we can keep the candles from burning

To shelter them from pain

Or let them laugh again

Oh, shower the world with their innocence

Oh, whose tears felt like rain

History remains the same

Oh, but one by one they come up missing

Strangers thought, strangers thought I was sleeping

Some life, some life means nothing to some people

Watch out now, we've got them on the run, on the run

Whatever happened to my garden of black roses

Oh, nurturing years of so long

Whatever happened to my garden of black roses, oh

They say a stranger treated them wrong, whoa

Whatever happened to my garden of black roses, yeah, yeah, yeah

Will someone help me sing this song?

I haven't seen them for so long, yeah, so long, yeah, my black roses, where have you been,

will someone say, my, my black roses, my precious black roses, night and day,

I hear the children crying they say whatever happened to my garden of black roses

oh oh oh nurturing years of so long oh oh oh oh oh whatever happened to my garden of black roses

They say a stranger treated them wrong Whatever happened, whatever happened, whatever happened, happened
