rose in the heather

Singer:fiddler's green

i drove my boat on the river

my friend

i saw people

the farmers

their land

i met a girl and she passed me her hand

it seemed there'd never be an end

i came along with the people i found

i stayed around till i did hear a sound

i met a girl and i kissed her

my friend

it seemed there'd never be an end

a rose in the heather

a rose in my hand

a broken one this old land

a rose in the heather

a rose in the sand

a broken one in the end

i drove my boat

never thought that i would

i saw the crowds walk as fast as they could

i met a girl and i kissed her again

it seemed there'd never be an end

and you had to please no one but me

but now in the end

it seems like i'm losing a friend

a rose in the heather

a rose in my hand

a broken one this old land

a rose in the heather

a rose in my hand

a rose in the heather

a broken land

she faded away with the boy that she met

he plucked her heart and she pricked me instead

i met a girl and i loved her

my friend

it seemed there'd never be an end

a rose in the heather

a rose in my hand

a broken one this old land

a rose in the heather

a rose in the sand

a broken one in the end

and you had to please no one but me

but now in the end it seems i'm losing a friend

a rose in the heather

a rose in my hand

a broken one this old land

a rose in the heather

a rose in my hand

a broken one in the end
