lyrics

I’m keeping watch for
The Lancaster Rose
But where she has got to
Nobody knows
If you see her in Angel
She’ll be wearing the finest clothes
If you see her then pray tell
The direction she goes
The direction she goes

Been searching the hillside
For the Lancaster Rose
I told myself that she’d hide
Where the wild wind blows
I came down through the valley
I saw the river had froze
And on my back, I still carry
All my long, broken oaths
All my long, broken oaths

I ain’t never gonna make it
There’s no way I can take it
I don’t even know how to fake it
Without the Rose

I walked through the city night
To find the Lancaster Rose
Where the noise and the bright lights
Say that we never close
Best place to get started
Was to follow my nose
It ain’t for the faint-hearted
All these long, lonely roads
All these long, lonely roads

I think of her nightly
Lancaster Rose
And I never tread lightly
On all of my sorrows
I cried to the darkness
Tell the night wind all my woes
Then I yield to the sharpness
That the dawn must expose
That the dawn must expose

I ain’t ever gonna make it
No way I can take it
Don’t even know how to fake it
Without the Rose

She’s putting her shoes on
The Lancaster Rose
It’s the highway that moves on
I suppose
You won’t find her in castles
She prefers those French chateauxs
So I live in the past in
Got the love in my bones
Got the love in my bones
Got the love in my bones
Got the love in my bones
