To get to know you I’ve got to know myself
Red the wild roses bloom
Postcard from Berlin resting on my shelf
Red the wild roses go in full bloom

The kind of day and the hours you keep
Red the wild roses bloom
Sometimes you’re up all night long when the town’s fast asleep
Red the wild roses go in full bloom

And you said I don’t need much money or pricely things
All I need are good friends and songs to make life sweet
And some were made to wander and some of us to nest
And some of us were made to wear our hearts out on our chests

When I first heard your song my heart skipped three beats
Red the wild roses bloom
A thousand miles you’d travelled to sing to these streets
Red the wild roses go in full bloom

I can hear a little closer now, your song is clear and bright
Red the wild roses bloom
Flashing ‘cross the sky like a satellite
Red the wild roses go in full bloom

Some were made to wander and some of us to nest
And some of us were made to wear our hearts out on our chests
The sun casts your shadow just enough to let you grow
And you can sing out your heart no matter where you go   x 2

And I will be here for you Rose
Rose
