A Rose At Night Lyrics - Singles - Bob Geldof

Here she comes like a Queen all through the wintertime 

Skirts that billow long after she's gone 

Yes, I could smell her smell on that pillow late at night 

Well, she's a rose that blooms at night 

And all the streets looked wet and slicked with rain 

Outside that green front door 

Number 48 seemed dull by comparison 

I went on down to the pub and stocked up for the long night by myself 

Well that's one way out of this cold and lonely world 

And yes, I'll be a rose that blooms tonight 

Yes, I'll be a rose that blooms tonight 

Alright, the city's quiet, the rioters have all gone home now 

The fire brigades' sirens have been locked up for the night 

There's a blackout down on Brown Street where all the blues come home 

And yes, there's a rose that blooms at night 

Ooh, there's a rose that blooms at night 

Now, Jim, he packed up all his bags and said 

"It's time to get out of here" 

And his, his wife and children they were crying 

Out in the kitchen, out in the back 

Once a year he remembers that scene 

But it seems so long ago now 

He tries to remember but he can't, you don't look back 

Yes, you know memories 

Yes, they're like a rose that blooms at night 

There's a clock that never strikes 

In the Town Hall's towers of steel 

There's a road that's never used 

It's never kissed with the hiss of wheel 

In your mouth is a rusted brace 

That you flash with your junkyard smile 

Shine on like a rose at night 

Yeah that's right 

Ooh, there's a rose that blooms at night 

Yes, there's a rose that blooms at night 

There's a rose that blooms at night
