Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
Oh, nurturin' years of so long
When I was a boy I planted a garden
That meant so much to me, one of reality, yeah
A garden of love none like this before me
One of a kind equality, yeah
A prayer for you and me, whoa
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
Oh, nurturin' years of so long, so long
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
They say a stranger treated them wrong
If we can keep the candles burnin'
To shelter them from pain, oh, let them laugh again, whoa
Shower the world with their innocence
Who's tears felt like rain
History remains the same, oh
But one by one they come up missing
Strangers thought, stranger thought I was sleeping
Some life, some life means nothing to some people
Watch out now, we got them on the run, on the run, yes
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
Oh, nurturin' years of so long
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
They say a stranger treated them wrong, tell me
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
Will someone help me sing this song
I haven't seen them for so long, so long
My black roses
Where have you been
Will someone say
My, my black roses
My precious black roses
Night and day, I hear the children cry and they say
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
Oh, nurturin' years of so long, so long
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
They say a stranger treated them wrong
Whatever happened to my garden of black roses
Will someone help me sing this song, please
