Cantrells Under The Rose Lyrics

Under The Rose Lyrics

There's a flower that grows in the shape of a rose 

And its beauty is with
me wherever I go 

But its sweetness was lost in the winter's first frost


And the chill has stayed ever with me 



Oh, a long time ago
when the world was still bright 

There was fortune far as I could see 

And this blossom still shines in the heart of my mind 

But it holds
only sorrow for me 



Oh, the bitter winds blow in a sad tremolo 

And they stir 'round the memory of our long ago 

But the winds have no
power to blow away my sorrow 

And so it sits ever with me 



Chorus (twice) 



And this blossom still shines in the heart of
my mind 

But it holds only sorrow for me
