Scent of Roses

Scent of Roses
Odour of musk
Fruit that was juicy
Now a mere husk
In the evening the pale clouds
Stretch out to sleep
I might walk on farther
But the way is steep And my heart is heavy as onward I go
Yes, my heart is heavy the more that I know Scent of Roses
Fragrant and sweet
Brings back fond memories
Hopelessly fleet
I make my way over
The brow of the hill
Look over yonder
The night so still And my heart is heavy as onward I go
Yes, my heart is heavy the more that I know
