《The Roses》歌词

[00:00:01] The Roses - Caedmon's Call

[00:00:19] High above the Valley of Quito

[00:00:22] An old man and his bride grow roses

[00:00:28] Red and yellow white and golden

[00:00:32] And to him they are precious as children

[00:00:37] Their daughter she moved to America

[00:00:41] One more brick in the tower of Babel

[00:00:46] She has a son they've never seen at all

[00:00:51] And they're praying they raised her well

[00:00:56] On the mountain high

[00:00:59] They will live and die

[00:01:02] As time just slips away

[00:01:06] And the children grow

[00:01:08] In the God they know

[00:01:11] As time just slips away

[00:01:23] A man his bride his children and his roses

[00:01:27] Planted in faith and watered in tears

[00:01:32] Honey that's all they have and they're happier here

[00:01:38] Than any of my friends back home

[00:01:41] They've met Jesus and they really know Him

[00:01:48] On the mountain high

[00:01:50] They will live and die

[00:01:53] As time just slips away

[00:01:57] And the children grow

[00:01:59] In the God they know

[00:02:03] As time just slips away

[00:02:10] Now I'm back at home all alone and trying to find my thoughts

[00:02:15] About that old man so inspiring but the TV's always on

[00:02:19] And the phone it won't stop ringing and these bills they keep on screaming

[00:02:24] To pay for all the things that we have never really needed

[00:02:29] And I wonder what he's doing right now

[00:02:33] Maybe walking through his simple field and thinking about how

[00:02:38] God has blessed him so

[00:02:43] A man his bride his children and his roses

[00:02:48] On the mountain high

[00:02:50] They will live and die

[00:02:54] As time just slips away

[00:02:57] And the children grow

[00:03:00] In the God they know

[00:03:03] As time just slips away

[00:03:07] On the mountain high

[00:03:09] They will live and die

[00:03:13] As time just slips away

[00:03:16] And the children grow

[00:03:18] In the God they know

[00:03:22] As time just slips away

[00:03:28] Just slips away

[00:03:33] Slips away
