Root Like a Rose - Emmylou Harris

there’s a green, green place

where you lift your face

to the sound of the waves and the wind

down by the shore

where my soul does endure

where the Mother Sea ends and begins

take me home

to the sand and the foam

where my dreams walk in the mist

i’ll fall to the earth and root like a rose

in the salt land

that gave me my birth

though i wander afar

the same sea, the same stars

still shine to the tears in my eyes

they take me home to a land

that my soul understands

where the heart of the rose never dies

take me home

to the sand and the foam

where my dreams walk in the mist

i’ll fall to the earth and root like a rose

in the salt land

that gave me my birth
