Throughout the soft and timeless days of August
Till now the shadows begin to grow much longer
The sunset's fire has deepened blood red
I give you this, the last rose of summer
A token of my unyielding love
So when the winter's mantle stills the earth
And all around seems dead and cold
This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm
And living
Do not despair, mother nature simply rests
In sleep she has well earned
Till one day not so very far from now
With the opening of the first rose buds, I shall return
A token of my unyielding love
So when the winter's mantle stills the earth
And all around seems dead and cold
This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm
And living
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer |
