Lyrics
the night she went looking
there was blood, ice and ashes
a shivering ember that cut up the dark
she had flint in her fingers
eyes sparking with ire
and splinters of other cold nights in her heart
just a little white rose
a glint in the snow
ice in the bone and shes aid
i'll be right behind you
in the shards of the mirror
i'll be there, i'll be there
i'll follow, i'll find you
and you won't see me coming
i'll be there, i'll be there
well she sought him in shadows
and in whispers and ditches
she could still taste the bolt of his breath on the wind
through barbed wire and bracken
and broken illusions
she could still taste the salt in the cracks of her skin
just a little black rose
a thorn in the snow
blood in her veins and she said
i'll be right behind you
when she finally found him
asleep in the garden
she flickered just once and then banished all doubt
she clutched all of her promise and hope in her pocket
struck steel upon stone
and just let it all out
a little red rose
a stain on the snow
blood on her hands and she said
i'll be right behind you
she let it all out
