The rose bud clasps tight to its long lonely stem
sheltering from the cold wind and the winter mayhem
The spring sun shines so brightly is it time to parade
as the cloud covers over to give it some shade
Then around about elevenses it opens its display
leaving the people smiling for the rest of the day
It bows so graciously in the light shallow breeze
and waves at the audience, boastfully if you please
As the sun sets slowly we still marvel at its delight
then watch it cwtch up tightly asleep for the night

The rose bud clasps tight to its long lonely stem
sheltering from the cold wind and the winter mayhem
The spring sun shines so brightly is it time to parade
as the cloud covers over to give it some shade
Then around about elevenses it opens its display
leaving the people smiling for the rest of the day
It bows so graciously in the light shallow breeze
and waves at the audience, boastfully if you please
As the sun sets slowly we still marvel at its delight
then watch it cwtch up tightly asleep for the night
Cwtch - offering warmth and safety.
