1880 Or So Lyrics

1880 Or So lyrics

(Verlaine)

O rose of my heart, can't you see

I don't belong to
misery

Though she speaks fine with subtle art

Such misery clothes
the rose of my heart.



Now what I see in the long twilight

A
star falls down on a hill so white

On a hill so white.



A
face that glows in a golden hue

No-one in this world knows what they
do

I take my oath and I make my vow

For the tender things are upon
me now.



In the fragrance sweet of the evening air

I could
leave this world quite without a care.



O rose of my heart, the
vision dims

the time is brief, now the shadow swims,

A powerful a
real fine hat

Cause that's for you and that's where that's at.



Now what I see in the long twilight

A star falls down on a hill so
white.



O rose of my heart

O rose of my heart

O rose of
my heart.
