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 in To 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
