Gone, gone away, gone away,

almost nothing to do.

Gone away, now I'm far from you.

Though I'm alone now, and there's nobody near,

I hush my voice, lest they should hear.

               Cm7
My prayers go up to the sky,

Deep within me I die,

I'll never cry,

No-one must see me this way.

Left, left to find,

Someone kind, who won't leave me behind,

Who will guide me, when I am blind

Soothe my brow, when thoughts hurt my brain

Help me love, when faced with pain.

 Cm7              F/C
Silence, silence now,

        Cm7               F/C
Not a sound, stillness everywhere now,

         Cm7             F/C
And the trees, to the wind gently bow.

        Cm7           F/C
Only visions of the past and the gloom,

    Cm7                    F/C
And for the moment you're in the room,

              Cm7
And just as flowers bloom and die,

            F/C
No-one watching to cry

Only the black rose stands up to the sky.

Only the black rose stands up to the sky.

   Cm7             F/C     Cm7    F/C 
Only the black rose.
