Bilingual
We wandered through a meadow wild in spring
Waking slowly from another dream
Every morning brought another bird to sing
And the daisies bloomed without asking
And as the days grew longer one by one
I picked some flowers, and I brought them home
Soon all the irises and daffodils had grown
But the roses wouldn't blossom
I knew you well, well, I thought I did
I couldn't tell
When the seasons changed their devotion
All the pedals fell
Now I know not all roses care to open
We came together like a ball and chain
Hung our hearts out on the weathervane
When the fall winds turned our passions into pain
The walls all came down crashing
I knew you well, well, I thought I did
I couldn't tell
When the seasons changed their devotion
All the pedals fell
Now I know not all roses care to open
I lie awake and watch the shadows move
On the walls inside my little room
Each one dancing in the passage of the moon
Through the willow outside weeping
I knew you well, well, I thought I did
I couldn't tell
When the seasons played with our emotions
All the pedals fell
Now I know how to say farewell
Now I know not all roses care to open
