I was born on to this earth green grasses off in my birth
Blue heaven shelter me deep beneath in never green sky
I withdrew from out of the sun for the walls became my home
I could feel my body grow weak
With every passing year
She was our rose — ooh blooming rose
Come and go and shadow
Farewell my rose
A-ouh bloomin rose
Ouhhh ouuuu
I first just only entranced in the building quickened its pace
Will you send this paper my friend
and pour the whiskey around
And the bevy barreled on through and the tawdry simple around
To those nothing left we can do
Watch the spiraling owl
She was our rose — ooh blooming rose
Come and go and shadow
Farewell my rose
A-ouh bloomin rose
Ouhhh ouuuu
