Briar Rose

Rosie you've got princes they are lined up at your door
They come to bring you baubbles and other things I can't afford
But if you saw what I could give you wouldn't kick me to the floor
'cause what I got is worth so much more

Briar Rose can't you see that I'm just stuck here in your thorns
'till you wake from sleep and then I'll keep you
close beside under star lit skies my Briar Rose

I don't care what your mama says or what your papa thinks
All I have is love to give and to me that's everything
and if that could wake you from your sleep then I guess that I'd be king
but I need no crown if you'd only hear me sing

Briar Rose can't you see that I'm just stuck here in your thorns
'till you wake from sleep and then I'll keep you
warm inside on a sold, cold night my Briar Rose

I'm drawn to you by your petal blooms but your thorns they cut so deep
I'm stuck here in your briar hedge can't you see how I bleed
But I won't quit untill I find a way to get to you
I got the stars to lead me forward and an axe to cut on through

My heart it beats like a kettle drum every time that you walk by
The words to say are on my tounge but my mouth it just grows dry
I hope and pray you look my way and see the twinkle in my eye
It's a long shot, I know but still I try
