On Scarlet Hill a rose did bloom
On the night I fell for you.
It sensed my heart, my heart's dull ache,
So it grew as a comfort for you.
But as I looked at the bright red rose,
A colour for all the love for you,
The ground dried up; the petals did wilt.
As the time for our love moved on,
Oh how I cried and begged for it to grow,
But my tears did not induce it to grow.
It stays in my mind as a stunning memory,
And I guess, in that way, we still live.
On Scarlet Hill a rose did bloom;
My love for you will never wilt.
