Lyrics

English Rose

[Chorus]

No matter where I roam

I will return to my English rose

For no bonds can ever tempt me from she

[Verse 1]

I've sailed the seven seas

Flown the whole blue sky

But I've returned with haste

To where my love does lie

[Chorus]

No matter where I go

I will come back to my English rose

For nothing can ever tempt me from she

[Verse 2]

I've searched the secret mists

I've climbed the highest peaks

And caught the wild wind home

To hear her soft voice speak

[Chorus]

No matter where I roam

I will return to my English rose

For no bonds can ever keep me from she

[Verse 3]

I've been to ancient worlds

I've scoured the whole universe

And caught the first train home

To be at her side

[Chorus]

No matter where I roam

I will return to my English rose

For no bonds can ever keep me from she
