lyrics

CAROLINA ROSE

Carolina Rose, Love is dangerous, I suppose
Winter came and stole you away
Carolina Rose, I shouldn’t trust a wind so cold
Just leave it to a season to change

Have a heart when the cold wind bites
Have a heart, but please not mine

Carolina Rose, I thought that we’d outlast the snow
But weeds have overtaken your place
Carolina Rose, Now the garden’s in repose
The bed is as silent as a grave

Have a heart - don’t let us die
Have a heart and don’t break mine

Your petals press against letters I write but never send
I confess I’m a shrinking violet in your rose bed
But cold weather strengthens the roots you cannot see beneath the snow
And by May or June I’ll be blooming like a Carolina Rose

Carolina Rose, Love is dangerous, now I know
Even still my feelings stay the same
Carolina Rose, You cannot kill my hope
And the nights are getting shorter than the days

Have a heart - the sun will shine
Have a heart - the seed survives
Have a heart - love grows in time
Have a heart - take care of mine

Carolina Rose, You grow along the road
And I know that wind will bring you back one day
