The Only Rose Songtext / Lyric

Between the shifting shadows

In the no-man's zone

There's a bar at the end of the street

Some poor country music

One or two sixty's songs

This is the place where the night owls sleep

Oh, loneliness

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
