The Red Rose And The Thorn Lyrics

Eliza Gilkyson The Red Rose And The Thorn

You are the thief that the night calls in
You're always gone by the light of morn
You steal my heart and leave for me
The red rose and the thorn

You're always waiting around the bend
Your steps I trace where the path is worn
Along the way you've placed for me
The red rose and the thorn

I've searched for you both far and wide
From mountain top to riverside
But you're the master of disguise
Who's hiding right bеfore my eyes
And whеn I lay me down to sleep
I pray my company you'll keep
And if I die before I wake
My life was always yours to take

You're in the house when the lights go down
I search each face where the curtain's torn
And tumbling from the balcony
The red rose and the thorn
