Television - 1880 Or So lyrics

rate me

(Verlaine)<br />

O rose of my heart, can't you see<br />

I don't belong to misery<br />

Though she speaks fine with subtle art<br />

Such misery clothes the rose of my heart.<br />

Now what I see in the long twilight<br />

A star falls down on a hill so white<br />

On a hill so white.<br />

A face that glows in a golden hue<br />

No-one in this world knows what they do<br />

I take my oath and I make my vow<br />

For the tender things are upon me now.<br />

In the fragrance sweet of the evening air<br />

I could leave this world quite without a care.<br />

O rose of my heart, the vision dims<br />

The time is brief, now the shadow swims,<br />

A powerful a real fine hat<br />

Cause that's for you and that's where that's at.<br />

Now what I see in the long twilight<br />

A star falls down on a hill so white.<br />

O rose of my heart<br />

O rose of my heart<br />

O rose of my heart.
