Intro

This part's for my love of old

How the rose in your heart you hold

  Still all the water in your wells won't make it grow

Oh the call of the nightingale

How I love beneath the ghostly sails

  We move like gypsies 'neath the mist and beneath the gloom

Oh how the river flows

Under the ice and snow

The keeper of the flame

The rose captain knows my name

This perfume breath I breathed

For you my dear, my love will never leave G Em G Em

This part's for my love of new

How the bulbs in my heart are true

  They send the shoots through my fingers into your bones

Oh the call of the collared dove

How I long to be your one true love

  We'll move like gypsies 'neath the stars and beneath the moon

Oh how the river flows

Under the ice and snow

The keeper of the flame

The rose captain knows my name

This perfume breath I breathed

For you my dear, my love will never leave G Em G Em

  Oh the rose captain knows, knows our names

  Oh the rose captain knows, he knows our names
