It Must Have Been The Roses

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
