lyrics

How I long For thorns and Roses
That wound it's way around that old house
and the sound of aging voices
solving problems of the world on that old couch
I know it might be wrong to ask to stay here for too long
But I don't know if I'm ready to move on

So let me linger for a while
While my soul is running wild
Would You carry me upon that whispering wind
Take me back to home where the wild flowers grow
Would it be wrong if I lingered for a while

If I could stay for just one day
I'd sit and watch my children laugh and play
And hold the hand of the man
who stole my heart each and every day
There's been so much joy in the memories we've shared
And I don't know how without them heaven can compare

So let me linger for a while
While my soul is running wild
Would You carry me upon that whispering wind
Take me back to home where the wild flowers grow
Would it be wrong if I lingered for a while

So let me linger for a while
While my soul is running wild
Would You carry me upon that whispering wind
Take me back to home where the wild flowers grow
Would it be wrong if I lingered for a while
