Gregg Allman Band Thorn And A Wild Rose with Lyrics in Description

Details

Description

Track 4 from his fourth album, “Just Before The Bullets Fly” copyright 1988 Epic Records. His best solo album, in my opinion, with strong material and the band performing at their peak. Dan Toler’s emotional guitar playing and unique sound are a highlight that I feel should have made this album more successful. The Allman Brothers Band would reunite the following year for a summer tour to celebrate their twentieth anniversary. That reunion would lead to them signing with Epic and releasing a string of new albums, beginning with “Seven Turns” in 1990. Written by Dan Toler, Tony Colton & Bruce Waibel and produced by Rodney Mills. RIP Dan Toler, Bruce Waibel, David Toler & Gregory Lenoir Allman. Featuring:

Gregg Allman – Lead vocals & Hammond B-3 organ
“Dangerous” Dan Toler – Lead & rhythm guitars, keyboards on “Night Games”
Tim Heding – Keyboards & background vocals
Bruce Waibel – Bass & background vocals
David “Frankie” Toler – Drums
Chaz Trippy – Percussion

He came from the streets and she came from the mountains
A faded star and an angel without wings
Their passion flowed like a deep, runnin' river
They had nothin' left to lose and everything to gain and he said

Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Plant some seeds deep in the ground
Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Strong enough to hold us down

Seasons will change, but we'll last forever
We'll see the snow and the fallin' of the leaves
High on the hill with the sky all around us
We'll watch it grow from two wild seeds

Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Plant some seeds deep in the ground
Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Where it's springtime all around

He came from the streets, she came from the mountains
A faded star and an angel without wings
Their passion flowed like a deep, runnin' river
They had nothin' left to lose and everything to gain, he said

Let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Plant some seeds deep in the ground
Oh, let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Where it's springtime all around
Yeah, let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Plant some seeds in the ground
Oh, let's make a garden said the thorn to the wild rose
Where it's springtime all around, oh-oh
