Lyrics:

I drove my boat on the river, my friend
I saw people, the farmers, their land
I met a girl and she passed me her hand
It seemed there'd never be an end
I came along with the people i found
I stayed around till i did hear a sound
I met a girl and i kissed her, my friend
It seemed there'd never be an end
A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land
A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end
I drove my boat, never thought that i would
I saw the crowds walk as fast as they could
I met a girl and i kissed her again
It seemed there'd never be an end
And you had to please no one but me
But now in the end, it seems like i'm losing a friend
A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land
A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand
A rose in the heather, a broken land

She faded away with the boy that she met
He plucked her heart and she pricked me instead
I met a girl and i loved her, my friend
It seemed there'd never be an end
A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land
A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end
And You had to please no one but me
But now in the end it seems i'm loosing a friend
A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land
A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one in the end
