You were a little rose inside my heart
You were my little rose!
But not for you the wild bramble
Nor a man like myself
The Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away
You were a little rose
But you are no more
Every now and again
I seem to hear your footsteps
Walking over my threshold
Every now and again
Though I know I have no right
You're not mine anymore
Over my roof last night
Migratory birds flew
And I dreamt of your knees
And of your kisses
The Lord Giveth
and the Lord taketh away
You were a little rose
But you are no more
Every now and again
I seem to hear your footsteps
Walking over my threshold
Every now and again
Though I know I have no right
You're not mine anymore
