| I drove my boat on the river, my friend | 
| I saw people, the farmers, their land | 
| I met a girl and she passed me her hand | 
| It seemed there’d never be an end | 
| I came along with the people i found | 
| I stayed around till i did hear a sound | 
| I met a girl and i kissed her, my friend | 
| It seemed there’d never be an end | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end | 
| I drove my boat, never thought that i would | 
| I saw the crowds walk as fast as they could | 
| I met a girl and i kissed her again | 
| It seemed there’d never be an end | 
| And you had to please no one but me | 
| But now in the end, it seems like i’m losing a friend | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand | 
| A rose in the heather, a broken land | 
| She faded away with the boy that she met | 
| He plucked her heart and she pricked me instead | 
| I met a girl and i loved her, my friend | 
| It seemed there’d never be an end | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in the sand, a broken one in the end | 
| And You had to please no one but me | 
| But now in the end it seems i’m loosing a friend | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one this old land | 
| A rose in the heather, a rose in my hand, a broken one in the end |
