Blood Red Rose

A BLOOD RED ROSE GROWS BY THE WATER
BUT NO ONE KNOWS HOW DEEP IT FLOWS
THAT WILD RED ROSE IS JUST A MEMORY
HER BLOOD RED LIPS THEY LEFT ME COLD
 
HE TOOK MY LOVE
DOWN BY THE WATER
SHE WORE MY RING NOW TARNISHED GOLD
HER SMILE SO WILD TOO FREELY GIVEN
MY BLOOD RED ROSE I LEFT HER COLD
 
THESE MAN MADE WALLS ARE NOT MY PRISON
TEAR DOWN THESE BARS THAT HOLD MY SOUL
SOME MEN ARE LOST SOME MEN ARE DRIVEN
THE PLACE I’VE BEEN NO MAN SHOULD GO
 
I HEAR THEM SAY A DEAD MAN’S WALKING
BUT I HAD DIED LONG TIME AGO
BURY ME DEEP NEXT TO THE WATER
SO I’LL BE NEAR MY BLOOD RED ROSE
FOR I HAVE LOST MY BLOOD RED ROSE
