Paint the red rose blue

[00:07.51] He was the youngest of five and the only son
[00:15.51] He called his wife by a nickname as his father had done
[00:23.78] Not the root, not the branch, not the flower or stem
[00:31.50] He had the wildest of dreams but he rarely remembered them
[00:41.25] Turn the red rose
[00:44.75] Paint the red rose blue
[00:49.25] What was he to do?
[00:51.75] But turn the red rose
[00:55.28] Turn the red rose
[00:58.72] Paint the red rose blue
[01:03.22] What was he to do?
[01:06.03] But turn the red rose
[01:10.31]
[01:22.08] The words that came to him
[01:25.73] Both the lies and the threats
[01:29.70] They arrived all too easily
[01:33.82] But they ran up some debts
[01:37.63] From the thunder of a pulpit
[01:41.78] To the whispers of a lover
[01:45.77] 'Til he found that he couldn't tell one from the other
[01:55.25] Turn the red rose
[01:58.79] Paint the red rose blue
[02:03.23] What are we to do?
[02:06.07] But paint the red rose
[02:09.26] Turn the red rose
[02:12.75] Paint the red rose blue
[02:17.23] What are we to do?
[02:20.05] But paint the red rose
[02:24.33]
[02:27.74] He haunted the shadows
[02:31.91] And waited until
[02:35.76] They had secrets to sell him
[02:39.67] And some practical skill
[02:44.61] Theatrical blood is convenient to spill
[02:52.58] He turned on the light switch and watched her undress
[03:00.85] Oh, you'd never guess
[03:04.31] What came next, unless
[03:13.03] He said "All of these hours that I've skulked in the shade
[03:22.01] The sun never struck me or made me afraid
[03:30.17] Now she and I share unspeakable pain
[03:38.19] I have to believe in something, in anything"
[03:47.29] Turn the red rose
[03:50.79] Paint the red rose blue
[03:54.72] There's nothing left to do but paint the red rose
[04:01.23] Paint the red rose
[04:04.78] Turn the red rose blue
[04:08.75] There's nothing left to do but paint the red rose blue
[04:14.74]
