A Rose At Night lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics A Rose At Night lyrics Here she comes like a Queen all through the wintertime Skirts that billow long after she s gone Yes I could smell her smell on the pillow late at night She s a rose that blooms at night And all the streets were wet and slicked with rain Outside my green front door Number 48 seemed dull by comparison I went on down to the pub to stock up for the long night by myself That s one way out of this cold and lonely world Yes I ll be a rose that blooms tonight The city s quiet The rioters have all gone home now The fire brigades sirens have been locked up for the night There s a blackout down on Brown Street Where all the blues come home And yes there s a rose that blooms at night Now Jim he packed up all his bags and said &quotIt s time to get out of here" But his wife and children they were crying out in the kitchen Out in the back Once a year he remembers that scene But it seems so long ago now He tries to remember but he can t You don t look back Memories - they re like a rose that blooms at night There s a clock that never strikes In the Town Hall s towers of steel There s a road that s never used It s never kissed with the hiss of wheel In your mouth is a rusted brace That you flash with your junkyard smile Shine on like a rose at night song lyrics
