Rose, Rose, high above the sea
I climb the windswept path to see
Will your rosebud open in graceful bloom
Am I to find my true love soon
On bare rock high
a wild rose grew
In times gone by
Lovers knew
If her rose bud blooms
Their love is true
By the rose on high cliff tops
Lovers meet to swear their oaths
To spend the night in tight embrace
Until the morning they must face
Aboard the tall ship he must leave
Sailing out to endless seas
Rose, Rose, so high above the sea
Let my love return to me
Wind howls
The rose bush sways
Sea rages
But the rose bud stays
There is hope still
Rose, Rose, so high above the sea
on bare stone I sit with babe on my knee
Shine a light to the endless sea
Let my love return to me
Wind howls
The rose bush sways
Sea rages
But the rose bud stays
There is hope still
Rose, Rose, so high above the sea
Hold my hand for the path is steep
Baby and I are the first to see
Your rose bud bloom
in red so deep
Sailing in from the endless sea
The small boat
