Holly, Ivy and Rose

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tori Amos] Lo! how a rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung Of Jesse's lineage coming By ancient sibyls sung A rose doth bear a flower All in the cold midwinter And at the midnight hour [Pre-Chorus: Tori Amos & Natashya Hawley] He waits for her to find The heart she left behind He prays she'll find her way To be his bride some day [Chorus: Tori Amos] Ivy, of all the trees in the wood, holly warms the rose Holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown Of all the trees in the wood, holly bears the crown Holly and the ivy, the running of the deer For his rose to bloom, holly waits every year [Pre-Chorus: Tori Amos & Natashya Hawley] And he waits for her to find The heart she left behind He prays she'll find her way To be his bride some day [Chorus: Tori Amos & Natashya Hawley] Ivy, of all the trees in the wood, holly warms the rose They're both full grown Holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown Of all the trees in the wood, holly bears the crown The holly and the ivy, the running of the deer For his rose to bloom, holly waits every year For his rose to bloom, holly waits every year Waits every year [Verse 2: Tori Amos] Lo! how a rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung The frozen air perfuming That tiny bloom doth swell It's rays the night illuming The darkness quite dispel Oh, flower beyond compare Bloom in our hearts midwinter Restore the springtime here
