1. There used to be a graying 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
Did you know that when it snows my eyes become large
And the light that you shine can't be seen

R: Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
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

2. 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, babe?
But did you know that when it snows my eyes become large
And the light that you shine can't be seen

R: Baby, I compare you...

*: I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray

3. = 2.

R: Baby, I compare you... (2x)

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