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 that pillow late at night
Well, she's a rose that blooms at night

And all the streets looked wet and slicked with rain
Outside that green front door
Number 48 seemed dull by comparison

I went on down to the pub and stocked up for the long night by myself
Well that's one way out of this cold and lonely world
And yes, I'll be a rose that blooms tonight
Yes, I'll be a rose that blooms tonight

Alright, 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
Ooh, there's a rose that blooms at night

Now, Jim, he packed up all his bags and said
"It's time to get out of here"Bob Geldof - A Rose At Night - http://motolyrics.com/bob-geldof/a-rose-at-night-lyrics.html
And his, 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
Yes, you know memories
Yes, 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
Yeah that's right

Ooh, there's a rose that blooms at night
Yes, there's a rose that blooms at night
There's a rose that blooms at night
