for nothing can ever tempt
I've sailed the seven seas,
I've flown the whole blue sky,
But I've returned with haste,
to where my love does lie
I will come back to my English rose
For nothing can ever tempt
I've searched the secret mists,
I've climbed the highest peaks,
Caught the wild wind home,
To hear her soft voice speak.
I will return to my English rose
For nothing could ever keep me
I've been to ancient worlds,
I scanned the whole universe
Caught the first train home
I will return to my English roads
For nothing could ever keep me
