Lancaster Rose

I'm keeping watch for The Lancaster Rose But where she has got to Nobody knows If you see her in Angel She'll be wearing the finest clothes If you see her then pray tell The direction she goes The direction she goes Been searching the hillside For the Lancaster Rose I told myself that she'd hide Where the wild wind blows I came down through the valley I saw the river had froze And on my back, I still carry All my long, broken oaths All my long, broken oaths I ain't never gonna make it There's no way I can take it I don't even know how to fake it Without the Rose I walked through the city night To find the Lancaster Rose Where the noise and the bright lights Say that we never close Best place to get started Was to follow my nose It ain't for the faint-hearted All these long, lonely roads All these long, lonely roads I think of her nightly Lancaster Rose And I never tread lightly On all of my sorrows I cried to the darkness Tell the night wind all my woes Then I yield to the sharpness That the dawn must expose That the dawn must expose I ain't ever gonna make it No way I can take it Don't even know how to fake it Without the Rose She's putting her shoes on The Lancaster Rose It's the highway that moves on I suppose You won't find her in castles She prefers those French chateauxs So I live in the past in Got the love in my bones Got the love in my bones Got the love in my bones Got the love in my bones
