Lyrics
Rosebuds are hard and firm
Erect and proudly stand on slender stems
Wrapped in silk and tied with a velvet ribbon
"Tie the ribbon in my hair," she says
"Your gentle touch upon my brow
Can make me close my eyes in sleepy pleasure"
Low the candle burns
And flickers shadows on the wall
Its crimson lips are closing 'round the flame
As the flame dies, so shall our love die
The roses droop lower as their petals fall
So shall our love die
"What is it?" she says
"Nothing," say I
"Nothing but the west wind
The wind of change"
