Whatever happen to my garden of black roses Oh nurturing years of so long When I was a boy I planted a garden That mean so much to me One of reality A garden of love, none like this before One of a kind quality A prayer for you and me Whatever happen to my garden of black roses Oh nurturing years of so long, so long Whatever happen to my garden of black roses They say a stranger treated them wrong If we can keep the candles burning To shelter them from pain Oh let's them laugh again Shower the world with their innocence Who's tears felt like rain History remains the same But one by one they come up missing Strangers thought, strangers thought I was sleeping Some life, some life mean nothing to some people Watch out now we've got them on the run, on the run Whatever happen to my garden of black roses Oh nurturing years of so long Whatever happen to my garden of black roses They say a stranger treated them wrong Tell me whatever happen to my garden of black roses Will someone help me sing this song? I haven't seem them for so long So long, my black roses Where have you been? Will someone save my, my black roses? A precious black roses, night and day I hear the children cry and they say Whatever happen to my garden of black roses Oh nurturing years of so long, so long Whatever happen to my garden of black roses They say a stranger treated them wrong Whatever happen to my garden of black roses Will someone help me sing this song?
