When The Roses Bloom Again - Billy Bragg and Wilco |
| [00:08.48] |
They were strolling in the gloaming |
| [00:12.59] |
Where the roses were in bloom |
| [00:16.88] |
A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true |
| [00:25.33] |
And their hearts were filled with sorrow |
| [00:29.59] |
For their thoughts were of tomorrow |
| [00:33.71] |
As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue |
| [00:41.87] |
Do not ask me, love, to linger |
| [00:46.36] |
For you know not what to say |
| [00:50.62] |
For duty calls your sweetheart's name again |
| [00:59.16] |
And your heart need not be sighing |
| [01:03.40] |
If I be among the dying |
| [01:07.18] |
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again |
| [01:15.95] |
When the roses bloom again beside the river |
| [01:24.72] |
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain |
| [01:33.12] |
In the days of auld lang syne |
| [01:36.83] |
I'll be with you sweetheart mine |
| [01:41.10] |
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again |
| [02:23.69] |
With the rattle of the battle |
| [02:27.90] |
Came a whisper soft and low |
| [02:32.41] |
A soldier who had fallen in the fray |
| [02:40.74] |
I am dying, I am dying |
| [02:44.78] |
And I know I have to go |
| [02:49.18] |
But I want to tell you before I pass away |
| [02:57.13] |
There's a far and distant river |
| [03:01.58] |
Where the roses are in bloom |
| [03:05.98] |
A sweetheart who is waiting there for me |
| [03:14.24] |
And it's there I pray you take me |
| [03:18.34] |
I've been faithful, don't forsake me |
| [03:22.62] |
I'll be with her when the roses bloom again |
