The Tumbleweed And The Rose lyrics

You're soft and warm
And every inch a lady
What do you want with me, a traveling man?
Before we go too far
Lying here the way we are
There's something that you should understand

When a tumbleweed lays down beside a rose
He'll touch the fragile blossom but he knows
He's not looking for the beauty of her soul
When a tumbleweed lays down beside a rose

The morning sun, always finds me leaving
There's always one more mountain left to climb
Oh don't you understand
You're dealing with a man
That's born to ride the rainbows of his mind

When a tumbleweed lays down beside a rose
He'll touch the fragile blossom but he knows
He's not looking for the beauty of her soul
And he'll take more than he gives before he goes
When a tumbleweed lays down beside a rose
