Lyrics Wild Rose - Will Stratton

Wild Rose

My wild rose
I might have never seen you again
Both six years back and when I got so sick, but then I lived
When we met
Perhaps something was already there
A rapid glance, a slower stare, oh what I’d give
For you to have me once without my scars
Running down my chest like a river in the dark
For us to be so guileless and free
That each mistake would snap just like a bough on a tree
But back then
I was so fickle and so torn
We were both too young and too forlorn to understand
How things go
How they wander and they mend
And turn up unexpected, cold, and wait to be brought in
So I’ll put my hand around your love
And hope that it’s just enough to keep the warmth up
And you’ll speak just like you breathe
As clear and as sweet as the Adriatic Sea
My wild rose, my wild rose
