Songtext Rose in the heather Fiddler's Green

Rose in the heather

I drove my boat on the river, my friend
i saw people, the farmers, their land
i met a girl and she passed me her hand
it seemed there'd never be an end

i came along with the people i found
i stayed around till i did hear a sound
i met a girl and i kissed her, my friend
it seemed there'd never be an end

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land
A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end

i drove my boat, never thought that i would
i saw the crowds walk as fast as they could
i met a girl and i kissed her again
it seemed there'd never be an end

And you had to please no one but me
but now in the end, it seems like i'm losing a friend

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand
A rose in the heather, a broken land

She faded away with the boy that she met
he plucked her heart and she pricked me instead
i met a girl and i loved her, my friend
it seemed there'd never be an end

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land
A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end

And You had to please no one but me
but now in the end it seems i'm loosing a friend

A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land
A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one in the end
