lyrics

I can picture a room full of five dozen roses
I imagine each one of them mine
they were picked my my lover who no one supposes
will ever return here alive

he was carried away by the waves of the ocean
carried away from my arms
but he carried my love in the letters I wrote him
and I carried his love in my heart

oh my lover he promised me he would return
and I promised I’d wait till I die
so I’m carrying on in my room full of roses
and I’ll carry his promise for life

now a story is told of an ill-fated sailor
who leapt to his death in the waves
to recover a letter, blown from his hands
to the water that swept him away

oh my lover he promised me he would return
and I promised I’d wait till I die
so I’m carrying on in my room full of roses
and I’ll carry his promise for life

I can picture a room full of five dozen roses
a rose for each year of my life
I’ve spent waiting and wondering whate’r I will say
to my lover the day he arrives

oh my lover he promised me he would return
and I promised I’d wait till I die
so I’m carrying on, yes I’m carrying on
and I’ll carry his promise…
