Lyrics: Marianne
Music: Marianne / Stephan Kraemer
Sabam 1997

White rose in the rain

Alone and tired, sick and weary
Skin draped upon her bones
Swarming vultures, circle around her
To take what she beholds

Ghosts in her closet, frost on her windows
She holds on to her flame
It isn't right, she doesn't fight
She hangs her head in shame

So fragile she's like a white rose in the rain
She's so white and she's so pure
And she's in so much pain

The cry of thunder, anger of lightning
Can't appease her shattered dreams
They can't erase, the silent chase
For a little self esteem

So fragile she's like a white rose in the rain
She's so white and she's so pure
And she's in so much pain

She says in fright, the time's not right
Did not decide to die today
Angels in white, circle of light
Come take me away

No more will she be a white rose in the rain
She's so white and she's so pure
And there is no more pain

White rose in the rain
She drifted away
Just like a white rose in the rain
