robbie fulks - rose of the summer lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a meadow tucked deep in the mountain
where the songbird and eagle fly free
and a lone man there carries a blossom
to his darling sweet rose avery

[verse 2]
it was there on that mountain one summer
from a girl to a woman she grew
and many was the heart laid before her
but only young william’s was true

[chorus]
oh it’s on (on through the rain)
and on (and the chill of the spring)
through the dark cheerless winter and on
oh love is a flower unfaded
when the bright rose of summer is gone

[verse 3]
over the ocean his country called william
and home it returned him too late
for three years away is too many
for a handsome young woman to wait

[verse 4]
so he built him a home on that mountain
years p-ssing, another he chose
from his lips came the vow to be faithful
but the name his heart whispered was “rose”

[chorus]
oh it’s on (on through the rain)
and on (and the chill of the spring)
through the dark cheerless winter and on
oh love is a flower unfaded
when the bright rose of summer is gone

[verse 5]
came children, now the seasons fast fleeting
in the town they’d oft-times be seen
and for william, a smile upon meeting
old thoughts long forgotten, it seemed

[verse 6]
but alone in the long evening shadows
as the chains of the watchful day fell
oh the dreams of that long-ago summer
too sweet but too hurtful to tell

[chorus]
oh it’s on (on through the rain)
and on (and the chill of the spring)
through the dark cheerless winter and on
oh love is a flower unfaded
when the bright rose of summer is gone

[verse 7]
now a summer and many has ended
on the mountain the young dreams are done
for the kids have moved on to the city
and the old ones to god, all but one

[verse 8]
in the meadow he kneels now in silence
his love at last is set free
it’s there in the tear-stained blossom
on a stone marked “rose avery”

[chorus]
oh it’s on (on through the rain)
and on (and the chill of the spring)
through the dark cheerless winter and on
oh love is a flower unfaded
when the bright rose of summer is gone
