The Rose And The Thistle

The rose and the thistle, well they both have thorns
 They both have thorns, they both have thorns
 The rose and the thistle, well they both have thorns
 And they grow in the garden where your love was born
 The rose and the thistle, well they both have thorns
 They both have thorns, they both have thorns
 The rose and the thistle, well they both have thorns
 And they grow in the garden where your love was born
 I'm between a rock and a hard place
 Your thought and your heart's space
 Meant no for nothing, like a pick in an empty guitar case
 Follow you like a car chase
 To the part where we stargaze the plot in your garden
 I see your world view like Marvin the Martian
 Your part of the solution's, my part of the problem
 If you stop to smell the roses I know we can solve them
 As the world keeps revolving, let's keep on evolving
 A natural selection like Wallace and Darwin
 Grow grey like Steve Martin, in old age be radiocarbon
 Getting to half our lives together, when the great part gets started
 To keep it short I'm glad you were born, let's keep flowing together through thistle and thorn
 The Rose and the thistle, they both have thorns
 Took note of this when I woke this morn'
 Sun rise came in as one bright ray and the place on the wall where it shone was warm
 And the shadow cast was like a battleaxe so I grabbed it fast and I smashed the glass
 And I crawled through the shards and I found myself in a beautiful garden
 With petals, bulbs, nettles, mulch, hibiscus, delphinidins, ferns, christmas bells, geraniums
 Jack in the pulpit, baby's breath, lily of the Nile, a star of Bethlehem
 A brilliant child being poked at and scorned, the rose and the thistle they both have thorns
 Hey Mary, begging your pardon, what pretty flowers grow in your garden?
 Let's lie back, in the lilacs, meander in the lavender
 Get silly in the lilies, dancing under oleanders
 Holy molly holding hands, snap dragon tantrums
 And open up the irises, humming summer anthems
 He loves me not will forget me not, looking for the answers
