Lyrics

There comes a day
When a stranger’s in the mirror
With a different face
With lips that lust has worn
though time is long, since flown
and now seems everybody knows
that the bloom has left the rose
when the bloom has left the rose

There was a light
there in our eyes
like a horizon
when our limbs entwined
and we laughed like nothing was wrong
and though we fell so strong
we'd blow it
that’s just the way it goes
sometimes the bloom will leave the rose
then the bloom has left the rose

Where does it go
all of the sweetness in the future?
just a yesterglow
that grinds out on and on
and where you loved
you lost the lot
where did everybody go?
now the bloom has left the rose
when the bloom has left the rose
