My heart was broken by someone
Sweeter than a rose
That then opens and blossoms
Only to close
Sweet perfume
Once in a blue moon
And then it fades when you hold it
Underneath your nose
Chorus:
Can anyone direct me
To that heartbreak infirmary?
Is there such a place
For this poor casualty?
Heart broken by someone
Sweeter than a rose
That opens
Only to close
Making friendships when the war ended
Many years ago
Travelled the road with a work shy
Roving Romeo
When they sang those songs of love
I never understood
A generation sweeter than a rose
Chorus
Does it show what happens to me?
Is it so? Can everyone see?
Sentimentality’s creeping all over me
I’ve let myself go
Chorus
