The Briar and the Rose Lyrics

I FELL ASLEEP DOWN BY A STREAM
AND THERE I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM
AND DOWN BY BRENNAN'S GLEN THERE GROWS
A BRIAR AND A ROSE
THERE'S A TREE IN THE FOREST
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE
I BUILT A NEST OUT OF YOUR HAIR
AND CLIMBING UP INTO THE AIR
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE
WELL I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN
BUT I WAS BORN IN BRENNON'S GLEN
AND NEAR THE END OF SPRING THERE GROWS
A BRIAR AND A ROSE
I PICKED THE ROSE ONE EARLY MORN
I PRICKED MY FINGER ON A THORN
THEY'VE GROWN SO CLOSE IT'S WINDING WOVE
THE BRIAR 'ROUND THE ROSE
I TRIED TO TEAR THEM BOTH APART
I FELT A BULLET IN MY HEART
AND ALL DRESSED UP IN SPRINGS NEW CLOTHES
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE
AND WHEN I'M BURRIED AND IN MY GRAVE
TELL ME SO I MAY KNOW
YOUR TEARS MAY FALL TO MAKE LOVE GROW
THE BRIAR AND THE ROSE
