Jeff Lynne - The Golden Rose lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the golden rose sailed with a broken man Going south Got on board with a woman to lead him around By the mouth [Chorus] And it's goodbye, golden rose Yeah, it's goodbye, golden rose [Verse 2] Well, the captain who swears if he speaks at all Wears a gun Got a first maid who's never quite on the ball For his son [Chorus] [Bridge] Wish i was back in her arms again Wish i was holding her tight Wish i was back in her arms again Safe from the night [Verse 3] She stood on the shore and she waved to me: "come back home" Many a-night i would think of her All alone [Chorus]
