Lyrics
Brazilian Rosewood
Love is like the wild sea
Sometimes flowing mildly
Shifting sands so freely-
One wave- the castle's gone.
Love is like a tall tree
Dark and streaked and lovely
Perfumed scent on each leaf-
One chop can cut it down.
Perfect love is rare
We don't all get there
Chance of finding love's like finding
Rich Brazilian Rosewood.
Love is like a white light
Warm and soft when it's right
Fading into dark night
One chill- your lover's gone.
The song of my guitar
Dalbergia nigra
Plays a tale of love lost and lament-
Brazilian Rosewood-
Love is like the wild sea
Sometimes flowing mildly
Shifting sands so freely-
One wave- the castle's gone.
