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
