Elusive
Fading Rose
In times so uncertain
The day's fallen so dark
And the joy I cannot remember
It's falling apart
You gave me the strength to go on
But the shadows are growing
On the hill, the gallows are swinging
In the wind, in the wind

I float on a river tonight
A river of tears you have cried
I'll give you my heart, though it's broken
For the one last dance
In the sun
In the sun
But I cannot see
The fading rose

Now the tree has withered
And every morning's cold
There's a road ahead of me
But I cannot go
The light looks so pale
Promises few
On the hill angels are singing
In the wind, in the wind

I float on a river tonight
A river of tears you have cried
I'll give you my heart, though it's broken
For the one last dance
In the sun
In the sun
But I cannot see

The light looks so pale
And dark is the day
And I cannot see

I float on a river tonight
A river of tears you have cried
I'll give you my heart, though it's broken
For the one last dance
In the sun
In the sun
But I cannot see

And all of our hopes have been shattered
The river run wilds
I'll give you my heart, though it's broken
For the one last dance
In the sun
In the sun
But I cannot see
The fading rose
