[Verse 1]
My love is a yellow rose
Upon a thorny vine it grows
So it becomes, so it goes
My love is a yellow rose
[Verse 2]
My heart is a sinking ship
Slips right through your fingertips
Cross my eyes, seal my lips
[Verse 3]
My tongue is a speeding train
Around the world and back again
Some depart, some remain
My tongue is a speeding train
[Chorus]
We have words for what we see
We have time, for all we know
To let it right, oh, let it be
Let it go, oh
[Verse 4]
And my voice is a broken bone
Set and healing on its own
On and off, all alone
My voice is a broken bone
[Chorus]
And we have words for what we see
We have time, for all we know
We have got to let it be
Let it go, oh, mm
[Verse 5]
And my love is a yellow rose
As good as any, I suppose
In our bed, a garden grows
Mmm
