He wore the rose tattoo

To prove his love was true

But hearts can lie, so why deny

That roses fade and love can die

She'll wait her whole life through

Like fools and dreamers do

She'll go on caring

For one who's wearing

The rose, the rose tattoo

She'll wait her whole life through

Like fools and dreamers do

She'll go on caring

For one who's wearing

The rose, the rose tattoo
