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

"It;'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
