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
