The Clarks - Midnight Rose lyrics

rate me

<br>

They park the old coal cars on the inside track<br />

Leave them there for awhile<br />

And in the spring coriander grows<br />

I walk the railroad ties to a secret place<br />

Wait it out by the fire<br />

And in the moonlit sky she glows<br />

<br />

She’s pulling into town<br />

But she’s leaving soon heading into the night<br />

Whistle blows everybody knows<br />

She’s on the move again<br />

She’s climbing high I think I’m gonna try<br />

To catch a ride on the Midnight Rose<br />

<br />

They junk the rusting cars in the salvage yard<br />

Leave them there for awhile<br />

And in the summer the river slows<br />

I drive the old dirt road to a secret place<br />

Sleep it off through the night<br />

But in the morning the blood still shows<br />

<br />

They put the broken men on the edge of town<br />

Leave them there for awhile<br />

And in the winter a cold wind blows<br />

I dig the last few feet the secret place<br />

Leaving here tonight<br />

And in the morning they’ll all know<br />

<br />

She’s pulling into town<br />

But she’s leaving soon heading into the night<br />

Whistle blows everybody knows<br />

She’s on the move again<br />

She’s climbing high I think I’m gonna try<br />

To catch a ride on the Midnight Rose<br />

Catch a ride on the Midnight Rose

<br><br><br><br>
