[Verse 1]

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 sixties songs

In the place where the night owls sleep

Oh, loneliness

You're a hard earned crust

You're the night at the end of day

'Cause you pay your dues

On the road you choose

With the price you have to pay

[Verse 2]

And 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

Oh, to rest by your side

In the heat of the fire

In the sleep of the night of love

[Verse 3]

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
