Runrig - The Only Rose lyrics

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
