lyrics

MY LITTLE DARK ROSE

(Neill)

Steel bridge at sundown walking along over the poisoned water
Skyline of the city covered in grey fog
We’ve seen the seasons come and go
The clouds roll in, storm by storm
The people flood in on a great migration

Give me destruction
Sharpen the edge
Let me walk on shattered glass
Down Belmont and 10th
Out to our western hills and east out to the mountain
Blooming in the valley
My little dark rose
My little dark rose

Be not sad for all that’s happened here
The littered hearts and broken bodies
The days roll into each other
And the ghosts they grow in number
These sodden boots are worn through
This pea coat still smells like smoke
The taste of brown liquor lingers on my tongue

Give me destruction
Sharpen the edge
Let me walk on shattered glass
Down Division and 10th
Tell me of the sweetbriar and your red american beauty
Far beyond compare is
My little dark rose
My little dark rose

Shine darkness shine darkness
Shine darkness shine

Long the journey from yesterday until today
We walk the streets together through the asphalt waste
Sisters of the road, brothers on the corners
Looking for the promised plenty, that seems so out of reach

Standing on the steel bridge in the drizzle and the grey
I hear music on each side of me and I sing its refrain
It’s the sound of Greg Sage, turn up “The Chill Remains”
Dead Moon lighting a fire in the western world
No matter where I run to or how far I stray
I will always return to you, nestled in your thorns
And somewhere in the numbers in an old man bar
Are the ones who won’t forsake you
My little dark rose
My little dark rose
And somewhere in the numbers in an old man bar
Are the ones who won’t forsake you
My little dark rose
My little dark rose
