Lyrics
The Only Rose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Between the shifting shadows
In the no-man's zone
There's a bar at the end of the road
Some poor country music
One or two Sixty's songs
This is the place where the night owls sleep
Oh, lonliness
You're a hard earned crust
You're the night at the end of the day
'Cause you pay your dues
On the road you choose
With the price you have to pay
Down the neon aisles
And the twilight miles
Where the world takes comfort in shame
And all I can hear
Is a voice in my ear
And it's calling out your name
Still the silence glows
The four winds blow
And a dark moon rising above
To rest by your side
In the heat of the fire
In the sleep of the night of love
When darkness hangs
On the dirty city
Winter falls on a foreign town
And it's all I can do
To be with you
Tonight as the sun goes down
But I would cross
The ocean wide
I'd walk the mighty foam
If I could lie
In your arms tonight
You're the only rose I know
The only rose I know
The only rose I know
