Lyrics
If anyone has the lyrics of the song ("Take my love" - or "Climbing rose") and is willing to post them, it will be much appreciated. :-)
share:-)
Climbing rose on the wall,
pluck it now before the petals fall;
Apple ripe on the bough,
Take it, for the time to take is now.
Happy day, sun or rain
live it, for it never comes again
plants have died, young and gay
pretty maids can fade away
nothing is forever
always is a lie
I can only love you 'till the day I die
So my love, oh my love,
Dream no more my love;
Awake my love,
Oh my love, wake my love,
turn to me and take my love.
Thank you VERY much, Mlle Panisse!
And sorry for not having checked the message board sooner..:)
>nothing is forever
>always is a lie
The poor prince. Guess he didn't know about Jesus.
Oh, and by the way, it's not "plants have died", it's "Lads have died".
What do you mean, JPB?
Of course, I can imagine what you mean, but I'd rather not force my interpretations onto anyone's thoughts.
Anyway, that's how mortals generally perceive the transiency of this life.
That's what makes this song so deeply poignant.
