Hi, I'm Ros. I write songs as they come to me, simple but from the heart. I hope you enjoy them :-)
Oh my sailor, sailor love
You sailed far away from me
You took your wooden boat, so strong
Launched into the cold, cold sea
Oh my bearded sailor love
I miss the way you looked at me
On the mountainside I wait
Until you come on home to me
Come home, come home
Oh come on home to me
The mountain flowers do bloom, my love
Although you're far at sea
Did you mistake the crests that break
For my mountainside and me?
The salty stings that burn your skin
Are not the tender tears I weep
Nor the chopping of the swell
The rocking arms you know so well
With love, she can't compete
Come home, come home
Oh come on home to me
On the mountainside, my love
I graze my flock gently
The meadow grass, it sways my love
It waves you home to me
Should you tire of the battering storms
When you remember where you belong
I'll be here making sweet berry wine
For a home-coming feast so fine
The meadow grass stands proud and tall
Will you be home before leaves fall?
We miss you, oh my sailor love
You sailed into the sea
She is not me
When first I saw you, I knew I was home
Then fast the tide changed, our seas frothed and foamed
You blur my edges, cross all my lines
Between you, me and the divine
Maybe my edges have always been soft
Too many times I have paid the cost
Chased a false sun instead of my own
You cloud the sky but blow me right home
I'd be content to live my whole life through
Just basking in the light of you
I'll be your moon, I'll shine you back
Coated in silver and edged in black
If I trust in you, will you trust in me?
When it seems deceit must surely be
My intention but it's not
My heart wants to love, my mind says stop
Those seeds were sown long ago
Now the sickly seedlings are all that show
I'm weeding them out so it'll take some time
I'll hold your heart if you'll hold mine
I'd be content to live my whole life through
Just basking in the light of you
I'll be your moon, I'll shine you back
Coated in silver and edged in black
You warm my soul, I'll fan your fire
Together spiralling higher and higher
We'll leave far behind space and time
And I'll hold your heart if you'll hold mine
Oh, I'll hold your heart if you'll hold mine
Did you see in me
What you hide so well in you?
Did the mess in me
Show how much work you've still to do?
Don't take it the wrong way
I see my reflection too
You get your own say
Your own chance to start anew
So don't discard your shadows to the devil
Because in their goodness he will party and revel
There's rubies in your rubbish
Gold in your garbage
Look closely at your trash, for in it there is treasure
Valuable, beyond all measure
I'm sure our souls will meet again
But now fresh winds are blowing
I feel our souls have been good friends
But now the water's flowing and there are new seeds that need sowing
Did you see in me
What you hide so well in you?
Did the mess in me
Show how much work you've still to do?
Don't take it the wrong way
I see my reflection too
You get your own say
Your own chance to start anew
Your own chance to start anew.
