I Smelt Roses In The Underground

Watts John


Nearly fell down a basement floor as
I weaved my way through the well dressed crowds
In search of you.
I took hope from the saxophone though
Her mouth grew cold she still blew out
A symphony. . .
The scene is familiar. i look again.
When i came here with you before it was different.

I saw beauty in this wasted land
I smelt roses in the underground
I saw a future when you were around.
But now it's over.

Through the darkness i called your name
As the friendly faces mode their way
T0 see the game.
Someone stopped me and asked the way
I shrugged and smiled but she glared at me
Impatiently.
The amercan waitress still knows your name
When i came here with you before it was different.

I saw beauty in this wasted land
I smelt roses in the underground
I saw a future when you were around
But now it's over.

You'll always haunt me
