Lyrics Root Like A Rose - Remastered Version - Emmylou Harris

There's a green, green palce
Where you lift your face
To the sound of the waves and the wind
Down by the shore
There my soul does endure
Where the mother sea ends and begins

Take me home
To the sand and the foam
Where my dreams still walk in the mist
I would fall to the earth and root like a rose
In the salt land that gave me my verse

Though I wander afar
The same sea, the same stars
Still shine through the tears in my eyes
They take me home to a land
That my soul understands
Where the heart, the rose never dies

Take me home
To the sand and the foam
Where my dreams still walk in the mist
I would fall to the earth and root like a rose
In the salt land that gave me my verse
