Rosanne Cash - God Is in the Roses Lyrics

God is in the roses
The petals and the thorns
Storms out on the oceans
The souls who will be born
And every drop of rain that falls
Falls for those who mourn
God is in the roses
And the thorns

The sun is on the cemetery
Leaves are on the stones
There never was a place on earth
That felt so much like home
We're falling like the velvet petals
We're bleeding and we're torn
But God is in the roses
And the thorns

I love you like a brother
A father and a son
It may not last forever
But it never will be done
My whole world fits inside the moment
I saw you be re-born
God is in the roses
And that day was filled with roses
God is in the roses
And the thorns
