lyrics

Oh my little Rose
I plucked up from the barroom
soaked in the rings of red light

with the moon on the rise
I danced you to my bedroom
with just a cigarettes worth of words
filled your head with lies until those rose petals dried
dead upon the floor is where they settled

Cuz love's a dream
it's a dream
I've tried and tried and tried to get some sleep
Trains of love
Trains of love
I'm tied to the tracks as they come

Ah Rose, how you sigh
like a hundred birds in flight
you touch me like the coals of a fire

but now I've left you all alone
and you can bet that I'll stay gone
any other would tell you I could never really love you
all those other Roses I'll meet in all those other bars
I can't give you what I never knew how to hold on too

Cuz love's a dream
it's a dream
I've tried and tried and tried to get some sleep
Trains of love
Trains of love
I'm tied to the tracks as they come
