Goodnight my love I'm so alone And so surrounded By your sweet memory I cannot sleep For all these dreams They come to play Till dawn comes stealin' them away
The fruit of the wild rose Hangs here with summer gone Voluptuous crimson As the days become colder The fruit of the wild rose
In a warmer country Where the sea meets the land You may walk with your baby In the afternoon Perhaps some aroma From a street cafe Might sadden your eyes Carry you away
The fruit of the wild rose Sweet and so sour on the tongue Swollen and crimson As the light fades and shortens The thorny wild rose She gave me a summer but she's gone As england faces the winter
In your eyes, in your mind, in your mind Clearer than a photograph No passing of time Ever could fade You and I Shimmering ghostly Like a wild garden from another life
Will you throw your arm Turn your body round Breathe a sudden sigh Wherever you lie sleeping Stir your hips Feel the seed inside so sweet Dreaming westbound waves And a man comin' back from the sea
