Tori Amos - Holly, Ivy and Rose

Lo, how a rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung Of Jesse's lineage coming By ancient sibyls sung
A rose doth bear a flower All in the cold midwinter And at the midnight hour
And he waits for who to find The heart she left behind He prays she'll find her way To be his bride someday
Ivy of all the trees in the wood, holly wants the rose Holly and the ivy when they are both full grown Of all the trees in the wood holly bears the crown Holly and the ivy, the running of the deer For his rose to bloom holly waits every year
He waits for who to find The heart she left behind He prays she'll find her way To be his bride someday
Ivy of all the trees in the wood, holly wants the rose Holly and the ivy when they are both full grown Of all the trees in the wood holly bears the crown The holly and the ivy, the running of the deer For his rose to bloom holly waits every year For his rose to bloom holly waits every year, waits every year
Lo, how a rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung The frozen air perfuming that tiny bloom doth swell Its rays the night illuming, the darkness quite dispel
Oh, flower beyond compare Bloom in our heart's midwinter Restore the springtime here
