Songs:Gypsy Rose (130097)

Lyrics

my love is like the gypsy rose
wild is the only way he grows
out where the sweet july wind blows, he blooms over yonder

his voice is like the mountain stream
washes me clear, washes me clean
i walk along the banks serene, where he will wander

‘cause there is no hill high as the moon
no river deeper than the sea
no shooting star reckless in flight burns in the night
wild as the love he gave to me
only the rain knows where he goes, thunder and me
ramblin with my gypsy rose

and on the day that we were wed
up to the altar he was led
lay like a pris'ner in my bed, oh how he shivered

so i built a house to keep him in,
guarded him from the sun and wind
but in the autumn he grew thin, in winter, he withered

‘cause there is no hill high as the moon
no river deeper than the sea
no shooting star reckless in flight burns in the night
wild as the love he gave to me
only the rain knows where he goes, thunder and me
ramblin with my gypsy rose

my love was buried in the spring,
i saw his face in bloss'ming things
one night i though i heard him sing down in the hollow

now it's been thirty years and three,
every night he calls to me
and for as long as i shall be i know i'll follow

‘cause there is no hill high as the moon
no river deeper than the sea
no shooting star reckless in flight burns in the night
wild as the love he gave to me
only the rain knows where he goes, thunder and me
ramblin with my gypsy rose
