Rose

lyrics

ROSE
She was dancing in a bar
I was playing in the band
At the end of the night
I had ten dollars in my hand
We went to a diner
And sat there in a booth
Drinking coffee
And dancing around the truth

If you ever meet a girl
With a tattoo of a rose
Tell her that I miss her
When the chilly wind blows

She walked me to my door
I invited her inside
I poured her Carlo Rossi
And told her my best lies
We stayed awake all night
In the morning light she left
I kissed her one last time
As she was tripping down the steps

I been around the world
I been in every place
I looked all around
But I could not see her face
Tell her that I love her
That I can’t forget her name
Tell her that I love her
And I know she feels the same
