Faded Old Rose

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What is love but a faded old rose Lost in the leaves of a book? And what it has known, nobody knows They don't even care to look But you are the rose of springtime Guarded by all those thorns And what do you know of the faded old rose Who'll never again see the morn? [Verse 2] And what is love but a faded old crow Lost in the leaves of the fall? What it has known nobody knows They don't even dare heed the call But you are the bird of fortune Flying south 'til the spring And what do you know of the faded old crow Who has lost all his will to sing? [Verse 3] And what is love but the faded old snow Lost in the leaves of the spring? And what it has known nobody knows Lost in the green melting But you are the mighty river Flowing down to the sea And what do you know of the faded old snow That has melted to be close to thee? [Outro] And what is love but a faded old rose Lost in the leaves of a book?
