Runrig — The Only Rose

[Verse 1] 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 sixties songs In the place where the night owls sleep Oh, loneliness You're a hard earned crust You're the night at the end of day 'Cause you pay your dues On the road you choose With the price you have to pay [Verse 2] And 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 Oh, to rest by your side In the heat of the fire In the sleep of the night of love [Verse 3] 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
