The Red, Red Rose (Song for Phoebe Prince) Lyrics
So, nevermore to see the sunrise
And nevermore the ocean wild
And not to taste the snow of morning
On the tongue of one so mild
And nevermore your eyes in laughter
That lately held but only tears
That lately gazed with only sorrow
Across a life of so few years
One January afternoon
They killed you in your school clothes
As sure as winter's cruel hands
Clutch and kill the red, red rose
So, lost we are to ever hold you
Lost forever, thanks to those
Who built your gallows just as sure
As the first freeze kills the red, red rose
And nevermore the ocean wild
And not to taste the snow of morning
On the tongue of one so mild
That lately held but only tears
That lately gazed with only sorrow
Across a life of so few years
They killed you in your school clothes
As sure as winter's cruel hands
Clutch and kill the red, red rose
Lost forever, thanks to those
Who built your gallows just as sure
As the first freeze kills the red, red rose
