A Rose That Needs Some Water Let me lay my head on your heart Let me lay my head on your heart And you can give this rose some water, You can give this rose some water now Nothing ever is what it seems Nothing ever seems what it is And though I may be sliding by ya, I'm a rose that needs some water now I've been spinning 'round my glass ring, grim personality Slowly bending towards the shadows of those waiting to swallow me So if thorns are made when wretched, I'm cutting through the chatter I'm a rose that needs some water now All the world I'm happy to see And all the world it's going to be To maybe find and borrow A place to put tomorrow's pain Ocean crossings, mountains to climb And history, a waste of time Well she may just set to plunder This rose that needs some water now I'll come near you Eyes beneath your eyes, where I hope to be All the blue knots, blue, blue, blue knots Imagine, I'll untangle and fashion where you can look at me So if thorns are made when wretched I'm cutting through the chatter I'm a rose that needs some water, water, water Now, now, now, now, now This song, also known as "Give This Rose Some Water," has only been performed live
