Love Is a Rose Lyrics

Cover art for Love Is a Rose lyrics by Neil Young

Melody sounds like Rocky Top

Nice catch! Even though the melody isn't the same, I think the chorus has the same rhyming structure.

...never been seen (...you'll always be) ...age old dream (home-sweet-home to me) ...go together (good ol' Rocky Top) ...best right now, (Rocky Top, Tennessee) ...best right now. (Rocky Top, Tennessee)

Good stuff!

Meaning seems pretty easy to me. Jealous, controlling, insecure personalities will find it hard to keep someone around. I'd like to think most of us make this mistake once, and we hopefully learn from the experience. And to think I could have just read Neal's words and save the heartbreak...

Oops Neil*
