Lyrics My Rose Saved From the Street - Solomon Burke , De Dijk

See how she loves the eyes she catches
And the winds just blew her mind
These thrills will never meet their match
To her thorns I will stay blind
The kind of itch that stands all scratches
And the pain's a perfect bind

My rose saved from the street
Nearly crushed under my feet
You are my rose saved from the street

It all happened unexpected
The night that I came down
I felt somehow we did connected
From the dirty part of town
You were smiling without acting
The way you wore that crooked crown

My rose saved from the street
You are my rose saved from the street
I might have thought that I found you
But I bet you knew we were meant to meet
My rose saved from the street
Nearly crushed under my feet
You are my rose saved from the street

You were waiting there just to be picked
Or was that just a pose
Could it have been anyone
Or was it really me you chose
See how she loves the eyes we're catching
Like the winds just blew our minds
These thrills will never meet their match
To her thorns I will be blind
Our hearts and dreams entangled
No boundaries for us to find

My rose saved from the street
You are my rose saved from the street
Where I thought that I found you
But I bet you knew we were meant to meet

My rose saved from the street
Nearly crushed under my feet
You are my rose saved from the street
You are my rose saved from the street
