Love Is a Rose (1999-04-24, Tower Theatre, Upper Darby, PA, USA) Songtext
von Neil Young

Love is a rose
But you better not pick it
It only grows when it′s on the vine
A handful of thorns and
You know you've missed it
You lose your love
When you say the word "mine"

I wanna see what′s never been seen
I wanna live that age-old dream
Come on, lass, we can go together
Let's take the best right now
(Take the best right now)


I wanna go to an old hoe-down
Long ago in a western town
Pick me up but my feet are draggin'
Give me a lift and I′ll hay your wagon

Love is a rose
But you better not pick it
It only grows when it′s on the vine
A handful of thorns and
You know you've missed it
You lose your love
When you say the word "mine"
Mine (mine)

Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
Love is a rose
