There's thorns on the cactus tree

There's thorns on the rose

There's thorns in the heart of me

That nobody knows

They tear at the flesh until

The tears start to rise

They form in my heart

But they fall from Anastasia's eyes



And I was lost in the wilderness

Without courage or hope

I was setting my signal fires

And watching the smoke

When out of the smoke appeared

The sweetest surprise

And I knew I'd been found

When first I looked into Anastasia's eyes



There's thorns on the cactus tree

There's thorns on the rose

There's thorns in the heart of me

That nobody knows



But finally I've found out where my salvation lies

It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes

It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes
