Clarks - Midnight Rose lyrics

They park the old coal cars on the inside track Leave them there for awhile And in the spring coriander grows I walk the railroad ties to a secret place Wait it out by the fire And in the moonlit sky she glows She's pulling into town But she's leaving soon heading into the night Whistle blows everybody knows She's on the move again She's climbing high I think I'm gonna try To catch a ride on the Midnight Rose They junk the rusting cars in the salvage yard Leave them there for awhile And in the summer the river slows I drive the old dirt road to a secret place Sleep it off through the night But in the morning the blood still shows They put the broken men on the edge of town Leave them there for awhile And in the winter a cold wind blows I dig the last few feet the secret place Leaving here tonight And in the morning they'll all know
