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 loosing 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
