He wore the rose tattoo
To prove his love was true
But hearts can lie, so why deny
That roses fade and love can die

She'll wait her whole life through
Like fools and dreamers do
She'll go on caring
For one who's wearing
The rose, the rose tattoo

She'll wait her whole life through
Like fools and dreamers do
She'll go on caring
For one who's wearing
The rose, the rose tattoo
