I drove all night to find
A rose for you
Red, sweet and wild
A rose of the kind
You cannot buy anywhere
That grows amongst berries and thyme
With a perfume that kills
Like the touch of your skin
Like the way you caress the air
With your hand when you sing

I drove all night to steal
A rose for you
Red like the passion that drives us insane
Sweet like your words that heal
My soul when I miss you
Quiet like the night
I search every garden in vain
The moon is my guide
You people, go to sleep!
I'll do no harm, just let me seek

I drove all night to see
The rose I want for you
Curious, she looks at me
It breaks my heart to take her away
To you, where she must die
Quick, I cannot stay!
Now in my hand, she knows why:
For a moment she'll be loved
Then time will take from her and us
Beauty and life which do not last
