[00:09.20]Precious things soon get lost
[00:13.81]Up on the tracks when two paths cross
[00:17.87]The lover I had is with another today
[00:22.63]Tomorrow came when she went away
[00:30.25]She was a diamond in the vein
[00:38.85]A crimson flower in the brain
[00:43.65]I picked my rose for the thorns
[00:47.83]And hearts get so easily torn
[00:52.06]I picked my rose for the thorns
[00:54.56]And lives get so easily torn
[01:00.39]The years have come the years will go
[01:05.42]And then with time the years will show
[01:08.96]I was too young then I'm too old now
[01:13.72]Oh what I'd give to have them back somehow
[01:21.47]She was a diamond in the vein
[01:30.25]A crimson flower in the brain
[01:34.82]I picked my rose for the thorns
[01:39.09]And lives get so easily torn
[01:43.55]I picked my rose for the thorns
[01:45.87]I know hearts get so easily torn
[02:09.71]The poison hit me like a shot
[02:13.83]I knew grace until it stopped
[02:18.18]Roses bloom before they fade
[02:22.25]Who loves the needle loves the shade
[02:26.45]Who loves the needle loves the shade
[02:34.24]She was a diamond in the vein
[02:42.63]A crimson flower in the brain
[02:47.53]But I picked my rose for the thorns
[02:51.40]And hearts get so easily torn
[02:55.63]I picked my rose for the thorns
[02:58.36]I know lives get so easily torn

Precious things soon get lost
Up on the tracks when two paths cross
The lover I had is with another today
Tomorrow came when she went away
She was a diamond in the vein
A crimson flower in the brain
I picked my rose for the thorns
And hearts get so easily torn
I picked my rose for the thorns
And lives get so easily torn
The years have come the years will go
And then with time the years will show
I was too young then I'm too old now
Oh what I'd give to have them back somehow
She was a diamond in the vein
A crimson flower in the brain
I picked my rose for the thorns
And lives get so easily torn
I picked my rose for the thorns
I know hearts get so easily torn
The poison hit me like a shot
I knew grace until it stopped
Roses bloom before they fade
Who loves the needle loves the shade
Who loves the needle loves the shade
She was a diamond in the vein
A crimson flower in the brain
But I picked my rose for the thorns
And hearts get so easily torn
I picked my rose for the thorns
I know lives get so easily torn
