lyrics

trees that gather under shadows gather sparrows and white arrows
gather dreams because my love is green

fire and heat consume the sunlight and the moonlight of the midnight
on the burning bed my love is red

CH. my love is a red red rose she keeps me warm
she shades me from the summer sun an keeps me dry when spring rains come
and when I die my love will morn
(and) in the spring my love will sing when I'm born

I am singing in the bright sky bells are ringing and the birds fly
one and one are two because my love is blue

clowns and carnival collections blow on horns and play selections
as they bellow my love is yellow

CH. my love is a red red rose she keeps me warm
she shades me from the summer sun an keeps me dry when spring rains come
and when I die my love will morn
(and) in the spring my love will sing when I'm born

soft reflections from green valleys cover me in silver allies
I'll be back because my love is black

white soft snow fell and transformed the broken midnight into dawn
and the dawn is bright because my love is white

CH. My love...
