Marillion Fruit Of The Wild Rose lyrics

Goodnight, my love
I'm so alone and so surrounded
By your sweet memory
I cannot sleep for all these dreams
They come to play
Till dawn comes stealing them away

The fruit of the wild rose
Hangs here with summer gone
Voluptuous crimson
As the days become colder
The fruit of the wild rose

In a warmer country
Where the sea meets the land
You may walk with your baby in the afternoon
Perhaps some aroma from a street café
Might sadden your eyes carry you away

The fruit of the wild rose
Sweet and so sour on the tongue
Swollen and crimson

As the light fades and shortens
The thorny wild rose
She gave me a summer but she's gone
As England faces the winter

In your eyes, in your mind, in your mind
Clearer than a photograph
No passing of time ever could fade
You and I, shimmering ghostly
Like a wild garden from another life

Will you throw your arm, turn your body round
Breathe a sudden sigh wherever you lie sleeping
Stir your hips, feel the seed inside so sweet
Dreaming westbound waves
And a man coming back from the sea

Dreaming
Dance for me rose
