The Rose Songtext
von Peter Murphy

The sweet notes of the melancholy
Made his excuses first
His pleading notes, his lover′s thirst
And through the crowd and silence spread as he
Descanted on love's scope and mystery

But not at you
She has faded in a day
But not at you
She has faded in a day

The secrets of all love are known to me
Throughout the darkest night my song resounds
When love speaks in my soul
My voice replies a plaintive wailing


But not at you
She has faded in a day

My love is for the rose
I bow to her
I bow to her

The rose has faded
Faded
The rose
The rose has faded
Faded

But not at you
She has faded in a day
Has faded
Faded
But not at you
She has faded in a day
