I love the way the tattered clouds

Blow wind across the sky

The summer goes and leaves me

With a tear in my eye

I'm taking off my winter clothes

My garden knows what wrong

The petals of my favourite rose

In shadows dark and long

Though every year, it's very clear

I should be carrying on

But I can be found in the garden

Singing this song

When the last rose of summer is gone

The last rose of summer is gone, gone
