Lyrics

Ten years the waves roll the ships back from the sea

Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company

If I tell another what your own lips told to me

May I lay 'neath the roses and my eyes no longer see


I don't know, maybe it was the roses

The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair

I don't know, maybe it was the roses

All I know is I could not leave her there
