Debra Cowan - The Rose You Wore For Me (Danny Carnahan) Lyrics

Font:

Align:

When I open my eyes,

I can see you still

With the sunlight so gay

Glinting on the quay

All buttons and bows

And the bloom of the rose

You wore for me

Oh I swore I’d return

As a prince someday

With a ship full of gold

For the world to see

Yes I promised you then,

Though I couldn’t say when

That day would be

Chorus:

And long are the days

Since we lay in the fields so green

And long are the nights

To consider what might have been

And the song of the geese in the wind

Will call your name

Oh the mountains just laugh

When I turn for home

Not a mountain so high

Nor a man so small

Is it hours to the shore

Or ten thousand miles more

Beyond recall

‘Twas a fool to believe

All the things they said

Twice a fool just to kiss you

And sail away

But they lied when they told

Of those rivers of gold in America

If a word or a wish could

Transport me now

I would fly to your arms

Like a moth to flame

But I’m chained and I’m bound

To this cold foreign ground

With none to blame

Does my love warm your heart

Through the cold, cold night?

Does it twine ‘round your heart

As the roses grown

Or does love burn away,

Leaving ashes so grey

And cold as stone?
