lyrics

When the gorse is in flower

When the gorse is in flower
I’ll be mean to you
And when the gorse is in flower
I’ll seem strange to you
And sometimes I’ll cry
for a night and for a day
And you won’t know why my sweet baby

When the gorse is in flower
You’ll be untrue to me
And when the gorse is in flower
I may stray from you
Like a thorn out on the briar
And a bee sting in the bloom
There be pain and beauty, sorrow, they’ll be joy

Like a thorn out on the briar
And a bee sting in the bloom
There be pain and beauty, sorrow, they’ll be joy
There be pain and beauty, sorrow, they’ll be joy

When the gorse is in flower
We’ll lay down our heads
When the gorse is in flower
We’ll be old and grey
And then they’ll spread our ashes
Where the wild winds blow
And they’ll settle where the gorse does grow
