Rose of Cimarron

'Rose of Cimarron' is a song by the American band Poco, who could have been as big as the Eagles, but were not. The fading rose reminded me of the song. It's such a great song. There's something wonderfully defiant about it, and the ending is brilliant. It can be heard via the link below. For Maris.
