The Rose 歌词

When I was a lass my dear mother said to me My dear mother said to me 'Tis time you should know of the heartache love can bring Oh the heartache love can bring For love can be a flower Aye the sweetest one that grows The sweetest one that grows But love can cut you deep like the thorns of the rose The thorns of the rose But then I grew up and I fell so much in love Yes I fell so much in love That soon I forgot what my mother told me of My dear mother told me of Then one day love was gone Like the rain my tears did flow Like rain my tears did flow For love cut through my heart like the horns of the rose The thorns of the rose Now oh daughter mine All too soon the time has come All too soon the time has come I fear you will do what your mother dear has done What your mother dear has done For womankind is born To sorrow and to mourn And love can cut you deep like the thorns of the rose The thorns of the rose
