English Rose Lyrics
[Chorus]
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she
[Verse 1]
I've sailed the seven seas
Flown the whole blue sky
But I've returned with haste
To where my love does lie
[Chorus]
No matter where I go
I will come back to my English rose
For nothing can ever tempt me from she
[Verse 2]
I've searched the secret mists
I've climbed the highest peaks
And caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
[Chorus]
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she
[Verse 3]
I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side
[Chorus]
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she
