Late in the evening when the sun goes down
I sit when nobody else is around
and read the diaries that I found
you wrote so long ago

You said:
give me the answer
give me the blood red rose
and I will show you the meaning of love

Rainy pavements, rainy towns
speaking to you all my thoughts out loud
this is the sum of my life now
now that you've gone away

Secrets and silence
dreams and cries in the loneliness of the night
one day I'll find the meaning of love

I have a photograph within
a bundle of letters tied up in old string
a picture postcard you wrote me in
that hotel you always stayed

It said:
give me the answer
give me the blood red rose
and I will show you the meaning of love

give me the answer
give me the blood red rose
and I will show you the meaning of love
