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
"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
*written by Bob Geldof
*taken from the album "The Vegetarians of Love"
