lyrics

Wild Rose (Les Smith ©2020 SOCAN)

Wild rose with a broken stem
Looking sad as you can be
Now you don't stand with your velvet heart
For all the world to see
What kind of wicked wind
Would've knocked you down this way
With all of your Golden Curls
Washed out in the rain

Verse 2
You need a hand to pick you up
And never let you down
Put you where the sun comes in
Above the cold cold ground
Even your thorns can't protect you from
All the dangers you might see
Wild rose with a broken stem
You are still a rose to me

Verse 3
You grew up between the weeds and the tracks
And the rumble of the TH&B
Underneath a steel town sky
And the dust From the factories
Your colours shine in spite of it all
And your beauty never fades
It hurts my heart to see you broken and bent
It's not how you were made

Verse 4
Good days will come
And bad days will go
And the sun will rise and set
Wild rose with a broken stem
You aint lived your whole life yet
