No matter where I roam 
I will return to my English Rose 
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she 


I've sailed the seven seas 
Flown the whole blue sky 
But I've returned with haste 
To where my love does lie
No matter where I go
I will come back to my English Rose 
For nothing could ever tempt me from she 


I've searched the secret mists 
I've climbed the highest peaks 
Caught the wild wind home 
To hear her soft voice speak 
No matter where I roam 
I will return to my English Rose 
For no bonds can ever keep me from she 


I've been to ancient worlds 
I've scoured the whole Universe 
And caught the first train home 
To be at her side 
No matter where I roam 
I will return to my English Rose 
For no bonds, can ever keep me from she
