The Sharpest Thorn

Lyrics Partial lyric transcribed by John Foyle and Mark Perry: I wore my finest suit of clothes The sharpest thorn defending the rose Hard as a pistol Keen as a blade The sharpest thorn upon parade And it's the same most every year Ghosts of the dear departed and near We raise our glasses and we cheer Should old acquaintance disappear Just as we wipe away a tear Archangel Michael will lead the way Archangel Gabriel is ready to play Although we know we must repent We hit the scene and look for sins That haven't even been invented The strongest cage that guards the prize The longest lash that covers your eyes A sight no eyes are meant to know Then on the third day...* Partial lyric transcribed by John Foyle and Mark Perry.
