lyrics

The Honey Dewdrops - Amaranth

Water rising up in the love-lies-bleeding bed
And me oh my standing by, hanging down my head
I know my old roots are gonna give out on me
Before any love will come and visit with me

So many years I waited all violet and red
Time’s wound up around me like the vines over the bed
Waited for love, my years reached and fell
And bled out from me, no time left to tell

Love lies bleeding for a long, long time

I am the Amaranth, my color never fades
But the crimson touch of my youth, never really stays
I should be content to be here for so long
Now I’m old and all alone, wish that I were gone

One red bloom, then the rest, there’re always more
It’s only some flowers, wish I’d something more
Wish I’d something more that I could give
Something more than time and a fixed red tinge

Love lies bleeding for a long, long time
