There used to be
A greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light
On the dark side of me.
Love remains a drug that's the high
And not the pill
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become larger
And the light that you shine can be seen?

CHORUS:
Baby, I compare you
To a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, to me you're like a growing addiction
That I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become larger,
And the light that you shine can be seen?

CHORUS:
Baby, I compare you
To a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
I've been kissed by a rose (on the gray)
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
(If I should fall, let it all fall away...)
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, to me you're like a growing addiction
That I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become larger,
And the light that you shine can be seen?

CHORUS:
Baby, I compare you
To a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

Yes, I compare you
To a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray...
