Ghost Of A Rose

Blackmore's Night · Beyond The Sunset [2004]

The valley green was so serene

In the middle ran a stream so blue

A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there and she told him

She would say

"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me

I love you so

Never let go

I will be your ghost of a rose"



Her eyes believed in mysteries

She would lay amongst the leaves of amber

Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still and quiet and mild and he loved her

When she would say

"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me

I love you so

Never let go

I will be your ghost of a rose"



When all was done, she turned to run

Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her

And ever more he thought he saw

A glimpse of her upon the moors forever

He'd hear her say

"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me

I love you so

Never let go

I will be your ghost of a rose"
