Lyrics Single Winter Rose - Moccasin Creek, Brenn Hill, Demun Jones

Single Winter Rose

Well the trail up Girtsen Canyon is covered in with snow
I always dreamed that such a day would come my time to go
With all our children gathered proud for the life I freely chose
And on an old pine box you’d place a single winter rose
For sixty years we did our best to make a house a home
A woman’s life as a cowboy’s wife is too much time alone
But down the trail I rode each night you waited here for me
Now sittin' here without you near ain’t how it’s supposed to be
And would you be a cowboy’s wife again
The hard times and lonely days and nights that never end
‘Cause Eileen I still love you as the Good Lord only knows
It’s time to say goodbye now with this single winter rose
The kids are gathered round me now their children and our friends
We’re singin' songs and memories I hope it never ends
There’s still so much we have to say about you and your love
Lookin' back I can’t help feel I never said enough
We’ll put up your old saddle now your spurs hang on the wall
The picture of our wedding day that I love most of all
Little things I should’ve done Lord how the time it goes
I honor and I love you with this single winter rose
Repeat Chorus
