Letra The Briar & The Rose de Tom Waits original

I fell asleep down by the stream
And there I had the strangest dream
And down by brennans glenn there grows
A briar and a rose

Theres a tree in the forest
But I dont know where
I built a nest out of your hair
And climbing up into the air
A briar and a rose

I dont know how long it has been
But I was born in brennans glenn
And near the end of spring there grows
A briar and a rose

P icked the rose one early morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
It had grown so high
Its winding wove the briar around the rose

I tried to tear them both apart
I felt a bullet in my heart
And all dressed up in springs and clothes
The briar and the rose

And when Im buried in my grave
Tell me so I will know
Your tears will fall
To make love grow
The briar and the rose
