| [00:23.350] |
She was a silent white rose |
| [00:29.070] |
who lived in a tall iron tower |
| [00:34.800] |
Barefoot she wandered in her room |
| [00:40.270] |
dreaming of life and a lover |
| [00:46.340] |
And in a night she threw a net |
| [00:51.830] |
into the ocean wide and deep |
| [00:57.810] |
And some of the things she caught in there |
| [01:03.250] |
made her sad and made her weep |
| [01:20.660] |
A fiery warmth embraced her heart |
| [01:25.760] |
when sunrays caught her hair |
| [01:32.010] |
And then she looked upon the world |
| [01:37.150] |
her longing got hard to bear |
| [01:42.740] |
She was locked in an iron tower |
| [01:47.620] |
with windows but no doors to be found |
| [01:54.770] |
Often she listened hard at night |
| [01:59.740] |
for a voice in the ocean's sound |
| [02:29.040] |
And voices was mingling with her own |
| [02:34.910] |
waves were singing,flee the tower |
| [02:40.430] |
By the stairway that takes you down |
| [02:45.520] |
follow the ocean's song my flower |
| [02:51.910] |
Silent the rose went down |
| [02:56.970] |
she was shivering in the dark and the cold |
| [03:03.300] |
Through in an opening in the wall |
| [03:08.330] |
the ocean sang as fortold |
| [03:14.650] |
Floating upon the warm blue sea |
| [03:20.030] |
by the waves to a shore she was led |
| [03:26.160] |
Among the trees red roses grow |
| [03:31.370] |
and the white rose turned to red... |
