The Long Ryders - If I Were A Bramble And You Were A Rose Lyrics

If I were a bramble and you were a rose
I'd stay right beside you so nobody'd know
The essence of living is helping what grows
If I were a bramble and you were a rose

There'd be more flowers surrounding the trees
There'd be more sunshine to warm when you please
There'd be more rainbows to colour clouds flow
If I were a bramble and you were a rose

Take me O take me the petals did cry
Without your loving I surely will die
Replied the bramble I'm not one of those
I'm but the seedling through which darkness flows
I hold no honey I carry no seed
I'll stand right by you for when you're in need
Said then the crimson who's no more alone
I'll give you everything as you're now my home

If I were a bramble and you were a rose
I'd stay right beside you so nobody'd know
The essence of living is helping what grows
If I were a bramble and you were a rose
If I were a bramble and you were a rose
If I were a bramble and you were a rose

If I were a bramble and you were a rose
I'd stay right beside you so nobody'd know
The essence of living is helping what grows
If I were a bramble and you were a rose

There'd be more flowers surrounding the trees
There'd be more sunshine to warm when you please
There'd be more rainbows to colour clouds flow
If I were a bramble and you were a rose

Take me O take me the petals did cry
Without your loving I surely will die
Replied the bramble I'm not one of those
I'm but the seedling through which darkness flows
I hold no honey I carry no seed
I'll stand right by you for when you're in need
Said then the crimson who's no more alone
I'll give you everything as you're now my home

If I were a bramble and you were a rose
I'd stay right beside you so nobody'd know
The essence of living is helping what grows
If I were a bramble and you were a rose
If I were a bramble and you were a rose
If I were a bramble and you were a rose
