The Rose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was a lass my dear mother said to me
My dear mother said to me
'Tis time you should know of the heartache love can bring
Oh the heartache love can bring
For love can be a flower
Aye the sweetest one that grows
The sweetest one that grows
But love can cut you deep like the thorns of the rose
The thorns of the rose
But then I grew up and I fell so much in love
Yes I fell so much in love
That soon I forgot what my mother told me of
My dear mother told me of
Then one day love was gone
Like the rain my tears did flow
Like rain my tears did flow
For love cut through my heart like the horns of the rose
The thorns of the rose
Now oh daughter mine
All too soon the time has come
All too soon the time has come
I fear you will do what your mother dear has done
What your mother dear has done
For womankind is born
To sorrow and to mourn
And love can cut you deep like the thorns of the rose
The thorns of the rose
