Rose, she lifts her arms in the summertime Sending all her love in flowers from the vine Setals fall like fingers hers to mine And we move for shelter from the heat, inside And we're gone too long Silent through the house we steal away And my heart is throbbing with so much to say Lay a while we breathe as the sun sets And illuminates our rose, her arms outstretched And it grows on till the frost comes You and I will never get old (Swear to me, my dear) Cold the morning comes against the house Where did summer go - when did she slip out? Rose is pruned by winter's gardener They keep telling me I'll be fine, but I'm lost without her They keep telling me I'll be fine, but I'm lost without her They keep telling me I'll be fine, but I'm lost without her
