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
