So Shall Our Love Die? - Strawbs/John Mealing

作词：Dave Cousins

作曲：Dave Cousins

The rose buds are hard and firm

Erect and proud they stand

On slender stems

Wrapped in silk

And tied with a velvet ribbon

Tie the ribbon in my hair

She says

Your gentle touch upon my brow

Can make me close my eyes

In sleepy pleasure

Low the candle burns

And flickers shadows on the wall

It's crimson lips are closing

Round the flame

As the flame dies

So shall our live die

The roses stoop lower

As their petals fall

So shall our love die

What is it

She says

Nothing

Say I

Nothing but the west wind

The wind of change
