Ocean Rose
She was a silent white rose
who lived in a tall iron tower
Barefoot she wandered in her room
dreaming of a life and a lover
And in a night she threw a net
into the ocean wide and deep
some of the things she caught in there
made her sad and made her weep
A fiery warmth embraced her heart
when sunrays caught her hair
And then she looked upon the world
her longing got hard to bear
She was locked in an iron tower
with windows but no doors to be found
Often she listened hard at night
for a voice in the ocean＇s sound
And voices was mingling with her own
waves were singing,flee the tower
By the stairway that takes you down
follow the ocean＇s song my flower
and silently the rose went down
she was shivering in the dark and the cold
Through in an opening in the wall
the ocean sang as fortold
Floating upon the warm blue sea
by the waves to a shore she was led
Among the trees red roses grow
and the white rose turned to red...
