Elusive Fading Rose
in times so uncertain
the day’s fallen so dark
and the joys I cannot remember
it’s falling apart
you gave me the strength to go on
but the shadows are growing
on the hill the gallows are swinging
in the wind, in the wind
I float on a river tonight
a river of tears you have cried
I’ll give you my heart though it’s broken
for the one last dance
in the sun, in the sun
but I cannot see
the fading rose
now the tree has withered
and every mornings cold
there’s a road ahead of me
but I cannot go
the light looks so pale
promises few
on the hill angels are singing
in the wind, in the wind
the light looks so pale
and dark is the day
and I cannot see
and all of our hopes has been shattered
the river runs wild
I’ll give you my heart though it’s broken
for the one last dance
in the sun, in the sun
but I cannot see
the fading rose
