Lyrics Roses of Picardy - June Tabor
She
is
watching
by
the
poplars
Colinette
with
the
sea-blue
eyes
She
is
watching
and
longing
and
waiting
Where
the
long
white
roadway
lies
And
a
song
stirs
in
the
silence
Like
the
wind
in
the
boughs
above
She
listens
and
starts
and
trembles
For
this
is
the
first
song
of
love
Roses
are
shining
in
Picardy
In
the
hush
of
the
morning
dew
Roses
are
shining
in
Picardy
But
there's
never
a
rose
like
you
And
the
roses
may
die
with
the
summertime
And
our
roads
may
be
far
apart
But
there's
one
rose
that
dies
not
in
Picardy
That's
the
rose
that
I
wear
in
my
heart
And
the
years
roll
on
for
ever
Till
the
shadow
veils
their
skies
But
still
he
loves
to
hold
her
hand
And
look
in
her
sea-blue
eyes
And
she
sees
the
road
by
the
poplars
Where
they
met
in
the
bygone
years
And
the
first
song
of
the
roses
Is
the
last
song
that
she
hears
Roses
are
shining
in
Picardy
In
the
hush
of
the
morning
dew
Roses
are
shining
in
Picardy
But
there's
never
a
rose
like
you
And
the
roses
may
die
with
the
summertime
And
our
roads
may
be
far
apart
But
there's
one
rose
that
dies
not
in
Picardy
That's
the
rose
that
I
wear
in
my
heart
