The Briar and the Rose Lyrics by The Once

The Once

2010

I fell asleep down by a stream
And there I had the strangest dream
And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows
The briar and the rose
There’s a tree in the forest and I don't know where
I built a nest out of your hair
And climbing up into the air
The briar and the rose
Well I don't know how long it’s been
But I was born in Brennan's Glenn
And near the end of spring there grows
The briar and the rose
I picked a rose one early morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
Thеy had grown so close it's winding wove
The briar and thе rose
I tried to tear them both apart
I felt a bullet through my heart
And all dressed up in springs new clothes
The briar and the rose
And when I'm buried and in my grave
Tell me so I may know
Your tears may fall to make love grow
The briar and the rose
And when I'm buried and in my grave
Tell me so I may know
Your tears may fall to make love grow
The briar and the rose
