The Rose Captain — Sea Wolf

This part's for my love of old How the rose in your heart you hold Still all the water in your wells won't make it grow

Oh the call of the nightingale How I love beneath the ghostly sails We move like gypsies 'neath the mist and beneath the gloom

Oh how the river flows Under the ice and snow The keeper of the flame The rose captain knows my name This perfume breath I breathed For you my dear, my love will never leave

This part's for my love of new How the bulbs in my heart are true They send the shoots through my fingers into your bones

Oh the call of the collared dove How I long to be your one true love We'll move like gypsies 'neath the stars and beneath the moon

Oh how the river flows Under the ice and snow The keeper of the flame The rose captain knows our names This perfume breath we breathed For you my dear, my love will never leave

Oh the rose captain knows, knows our names Oh the rose captain knows, he knows our names
