Smoky Roses

I tell you all a simple tale of how my heart was won
One starry night while I was out just lookin' for some fun
I stepped into a corner bar with half a neon sign
And saw the man I dreamt about since I was 29

Chorus:
Smoky Roses, bloom in the half-light
Before the dawn, after the night, we met each other
Smoky Roses, fade in the daylight
Red turned to blue
Goodbye to you
My one night lover

The Devil he was standin' with his pockets full of hands
I don't know when I've ever seen a better lookin' man
Suddenly he smiled at me and through the smoky air
His shirt was tight and black as night with roses everywhere

Chorus

The trace of beer and cigarettes will fade away in time
Until it goes I'll wear the clothes that bring him to my mind

Chorus

Red turned to blue
Goodbye to you
My one night lover...
