The Rose
The rose of rose city sits at her table, and shows me treasures from the sea
it may have ben years since last sat beside her, but she'll never feel like a stranger to me
twas never a secret that we've always shared, a faint longing from afar
she says we're victims of terrible timing, closer than a shadow, distant as a star
>chorus1:
For the first time tonight she laid her head on my shoulder
and slept in my arms even though
I've never told her with words I could love her
It's too late she already knows
it's too late she already knows
We shared our stories of loves that had ended, crossed over the tender abyss
Her long silver hair makes her look like an angel, but I've never held an angel like this
>chorus 2:
for the first time tonight she laid herself down beside me
and slept in my arms even though
she's never told me with words she could love me,
it's too late I already know
it's too late she already knows
>chorus 3
when I leave here tonight she'll lay her head on her pillow
knowing wherever I go
my hart, my soul, and my admiration stays with her
'cause she is the rose
stays with her 'cause she is the rose
