Brair Rose (Original)

A song about the end of ever-after.

Lyrics:
Once, in an enchanted woods
A long, long time ago,
There lived a girl called Briar Rose
And Lord! I loved her so.
Bright-eyed, dancing Briar Rose
And Lord, I loved her so.

We courted in the morning
Beside the mirror lake,
And saw its silver surface show
The many roads we'd take -
But now I face the shadows,
Old, and all alone.
What will I do without you,
My lovely Briar Rose?
My lovely Briar Rose...

Deep in the enchanted woods,
Together we would ride,
And I could fear no evil thing
When she was at my side.
I believed in happy endings
When she was at my side.

We build a house in summertime
Beside the mirror lake,
And saw its silver surface show
Us smiling, old and gray -
But now I face the shadows,
Cold, and all alone.
What will I do without you,
My lovely Briar Rose?
My lovely Briar Rose...

For seasons come, and seasons go.
Lifetimes slip away.
And the West Wind bore my lover
Beyond the iron gates.
I watched her slip away from me
Beyond the iron gates.

But I will ride the wings of night
And leave the mirror lake,
For I have seen its surface show
The path we both must take.
Now, I face the shadows,
Old, and all alone,
But I'm coming fast to follow you
My lovely Briar Rose.
I'm coming fast to follow you
My lovely Briar Rose,
My lovely Briar Rose,
My lovely Briar Rose...
