Whatever happen to my garden of black roses?
Oh nurturing 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 it before,
A 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..
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 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, means nothing to some,
Watch out now we've got them on the run, on the run, yeah!

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 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
I hear the children cry, and they say:

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.

Whatever happen to my garden of black roses?
Will someone help me sing this song?
