Testo di A Farewell Rose

If I'm gone when you awaken Please don't think I was unkind As I left, I thought about you And still hold you in my mind I don't know where I am heading But I know where I have been It was heaven to have known you Though some might have called it sin Call it sin! In the garden of grief Silent flower grows In the hour of despair Come and touch a farewell rose When you lay me on the table 'Fore you put me in the ground Whisper close and say you loved me So that I may keep the sound As you wander in the graveyard Past the roses growing on the wall Pick a bloom and take it with you For another at the ball At the ball! In the garden of grief Silent flower grows In the hour of despair Come and touch a farewell rose
