no matter where i roam

i will return to my english rose

for no bonds can ever tempt me from she

i've sailed the seven seas

flown the whole blue sky

but i've returned with haste

to where my love does lie

no matter where i go

i will come back to my english rose

for nothing can ever tempt me from she

i've searched the secret mists

i've climbed the highest peaks

caught the wild wind home

to hear her soft voice speak

no matter where i roam

i will return to my english rose

for no bonds can ever keep me from she

been to ancient worlds

i've scoured the whole universe

and caught the first train home

to be at her side

no matter where i roam

i will return to my english rose

for no bonds can ever keep me from she
