Black Rose Lyrics - Live - Sad Café

Rose was having a problem 

She held the answer in her hand 

But on this auspicious occasion 

She didn't really understand 

I went to meet her at the station 

Her famous hat was pulled down low 

A crowd of people stood there laughing at her 

Rose was a shadow of before 

Keep taking those back roads 

That's all I ever heard her say 

Don't take no for an answer 

Yet she slowly slid away 

Keep taking those back roads 

That's all I ever heard her say 

Don't take no for an answer 

Oh that's all she would say 

Back roads, black rose, blues again 

Now Rose was getting down forever 

She never really ever stood a chance 

I watched her life that's pilling out before her 

Just like wine, just like wine 

Spilling over the side 

And every time I reach a crossroads 

In my life and I don't know which way to go 

A voice is stirring deep inside of me 

It is the voice of old black Rose 

She said 

Keep taking those back roads 

That's all I ever heard her say 

Don't take no for an answer 

Yet she slowly slipped away, yeah 

Keep taking those back roads 

That's all I ever heard her say 

Don't take no for an answer 

Hey, black rose slipped away 

Back roads, black rose, you got the blues again 

Back roads, black rose 

Black rose, black rose
