Rose of Sharon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fold your hair behind your ears
Roll your questions across the floor
I know you been here for years
But at least we been here before
My mind finds peace in the shade of your attention
But gets tangled by the night
I didn't know what I was thinking
But I know we’ll be alright
[Chorus]
And I will surround you
With a love too deep for words
Hold you from the world and its curse
So long as I have breath in my lungs
Long as there's a song to be sung
I will be yours and you will be mine
Ever our lives entwined
My rose of Sharon
My rose of Sharon
[Verse 2]
Come crashing in like a wildfire, I'm left in awe of you
Every time I close the door, I’m left wanting more of you
I wish I had some grand sense of occasion
But I'll just smile and turn away
I hope you know by know
I don't know another way
[Pre-Chorus]
When it's said and done
I'm yours forever
Like I said, I'm done
I'm yours forever
[Chorus]
I will surround you
With a love too deep for words
Hold you from the world and its curse
So long as I have breath in my lungs
Long as there's a song to be sung
I will be yours and you will be mine
Ever our lives entwined
My rose of Sharon
My rose of Sharon
[Outro]
With a love too deep for words
I’m yours forever
With a love too deep for words
I’m yours forever
With a love too deep for words
I'm yours forever
With a love too deep for words
I’m yours forever
Fold your hair behind your ears
Roll your questions across the floor
I know you been here for years
But at least we been here before
My mind finds peace in the shade of your attention
But gets tangled by the night
I didn't know what I was thinking
But I know we’ll be alright
And I will surround you
With a love too deep for words
Hold you from the world and its curse
So long as I have breath in my lungs
Long as there's a song to be sung
I will be yours and you will be mine
Ever our lives entwined
My rose of Sharon
My rose of Sharon
Come crashing in like a wildfire, I'm left in awe of you
Every time I close the door, I’m left wanting more of you
I wish I had some grand sense of occasion
But I'll just smile and turn away
I hope you know by know
I don't know another way
When it's said and done
I'm yours forever
Like I said, I'm done
I'm yours forever
I will surround you
With a love too deep for words
Hold you from the world and its curse
So long as I have breath in my lungs
Long as there's a song to be sung
I will be yours and you will be mine
Ever our lives entwined
My rose of Sharon
My rose of Sharon
With a love too deep for words
I’m yours forever
With a love too deep for words
I’m yours forever
With a love too deep for words
I'm yours forever
With a love too deep for words
I’m yours forever

Starting point: could be a reference to Steinbeck's hero character Rosasharn (Grapes of Wrath). could be a reference to the biblical 'flower of the field'.
I guess both.
Mumford uses Steinbeck references quite often (Dust Bowl Dance, Hopeless Wanderer, Timshel)
