Wild Roses

I've seen them down in the valley
Wild roses that grow by the side of the road
They don't really mind if you pick them
They don't really care if you leave them alone

Wild roses, wild roses open their hearts
Gently by the by
Wild roses grow unattended
And nobody seems to know why

When the sun goes down in the valley
There is music in the night that it brings
And the roses quietly listen
To the song that the whippoorwill sings

Wild roses, wild roses open their hearts
Gently by the by
Wild roses grow unattended
And nobody really knows why

You won't hear the sound of them leaving
As they softly fade into the snow
And they don't really care if you pick them
Cause wild roses just grow by the side of the road
Wild roses just grow by the side of the road
