Let One Last Rose Remember You

歌詞

[Verse 1] At dawn you crossed the winter square, Your silver clasp against the snow. I held the letter you had left; The ink was blurred where tears had flowed. [Verse 2] They barred the gate and named you gone, While bells struck noon above the town. I called your name into the wind; The frozen roofs gave no reply. [Chorus] Beloved, if the river keeps The vows we spoke beside its stones, Then let it carry mine to you: I chose your heart, and yours alone. Though every road divides our hands, Though every dawn arrives too soon, I keep your name beneath my breath, And love you past the final moon. [Bridge] The candle gutters; night draws near. Your empty chair still faces mine. I will not curse the world for this— I bless the hour your eyes met mine. [Chorus] Beloved, if the river keeps The vows we spoke beside its stones, Then let it carry mine to you: I chose your heart, and yours alone. Though every road divides our hands, Though every dawn arrives too soon, I keep your name beneath my breath, And love you past the final moon. [Outro] When morning finds this room alone, Let one last rose remember you.
