Strolling down the garden path
from the cliff top to the shore
She wanders in the freshly mowed grass
Feels it soft between her toes
Summer is just around the bend
She holds her hand out to her friend
Come with me in the sunshine, and we’ll see where the day goes
You see the little pink rosebuds
Lining the trail and you just know
There is no other one like this
The wild Cape Breton Rose
Spend some time with me my friend
We’ll chase the tide out on the sand
The Breeze brings memories and her sweet perfume to your nose
You just can’t help yourself from falling
For the wild Cape Breton Rose
A storm rolls in over the ocean
The angry waves crash on the shore
You’ve had a fight full of emotion
Her untamed fury bloomed between you both
When she trusts you she will bring you near
But watch her thorns, they are sharp my dear
Her passion draws you in and as the bleeding starts to slow
You see the perfectly pink petals circling
The beauty’s heart of gold
There is no other one like this
The wild Cape Breton rose
As the flashes of anger start to fizzle in the pouring rain
The rumble of the thunder drowns the overflowing rage
A spark of love unfurls to life beside the growing pile of wet clothes
Just like that the tempest passes
Again the tides resume the ebbs and flows
There is no other one like this
The wild Cape Breton Rose
Come sit with her up on the cliff
To watch the sunset over the water
So close the edge that you might drift
Away with the tide
They hold on to each other close
Times like this, they mean the most
As the darkness falls they lay down side by side and count the stars in the sky
One by one the pale pink petals float
Gracefully to the grass to decompose
There is no other one like this
The wild Cape Breton rose
Spend some time with me my friend
We’ll chase the tide out on the sand
The Breeze brings memories and her sweet perfume to your nose
You just can’t help yourself from falling
For the wild Cape Breton Rose
