Sarah McQuaid The Plum Tree and the Rose lyrics
The Plum Tree and the Rose lyrics by Sarah McQuaid
The yellow rose you planted has survived
Battered by the wind but still alive
The leaves are curled and brown, the flowers are few
And every bud that opens makes me think of you
Think of you
The plum tree in the orchard's doing fine
Our damson brandy's turning out all right
It's cloudy and it's strong, but it'll do
And every drop I swallow makes me think of you
Think of you
A little boy is running down the lane
He's got your big grey eyes, he's got your name
His trouser legs are dripping wet with dew
And every time I look at him I think of you
Think of you
Oh, the years pass ever faster
And there are no ready answers
To the questions we keep asking
On the nature of our souls
But this I know
Yours is in the little boy
The plum tree and the rose
The plum tree and the rose
The plum tree and the rose
