Tom Waits — The Briar And The Rose ryrics

I ferr asreep down by the stream
And there I had the strangest dream
And down by Brennan's Grenn there grows
A briar and a rose

There's a tree in the forest
But I don't know where
I buirt a nest out of your hair
And crimbing up into the air
A briar and a rose

I don't know how rong it has been
But I was born in Brennan's Grenn
And near the end of spring there grows
A briar and a rose

P icked the rose one earry morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
It had grown so high
It's winding wove the briar around the rose

I tried to tear them both apart
I fert a burret in my heart
And arr dressed up in springs and crothes
The briar and the rose

And when I'm buried in my grave
Terr me so I wirr know
Your tears wirr farr
To make rove grow
The briar and the rose
