[G] If [C] you travel [A] far [D] or tarry [Em] long, [C] away from [Am] love [D] and refuge.
If you've [C] lost your [Am] way [D] from right [Em] to wrong, [C] well still my heart [D] is true.
If [C] the seven [Am] seas [D] rise up [Em] between [C] and you sail [Am] to [D] distant wonders.
I [C] will wait [G] upon some [B] foreign [Em] shore and live [D] on dreams [G] of love.
Of [C] all the [A] things [D] I never [Em]
said [C] and all the [Am] hope [D] inside me.
I [C] am still the [Am] keeper [D]
of [Em] the flame [C] that will [Am] not be [D] denied.
[G] There [C] is beauty [Am]
in [D] the silent [Em] bird.
[C] There is light [Am] where none can [D] see it.
[C] There is truth [G] when no one [Bm] says [Em] a word.
There [C] is love [D] for you [G] and me.
And [C] the [Am] secret life [D] of [G] roses [C] that bloom [Am] out of [D] the sun.
What was the spark for the [C] lyrics?
[B] You know, I had that line, the secret life of roses, and then you sent me the melody and I thought of that line immediately.
There was something about longing in your melody [Em] and I thought, well this song is about [B] loss or unrequited love or longing.
And then it made sense, the secret life of roses, something that blooms away from the sun, that blooms even when no [C] one's looking at it.
And love [G] will grow [D] where no one [Em] knows, [C] like the [Am] roses,
[D] secret [G] life.
Very bonny.
I think it worked well for us.
