The town of Roses

It’s dark outside,
Everyone’s asleep
But I don’t care
I’m walking to the town of Roses

The cathedral rings
It’s one o’clock
But I don’t care
I’m walking to the town of Roses

The sky is dark
Storm is coming
But I don’t care
I’m walking to the town of Roses

I hear a baby crying
In one of the houses nearby
But I don’t care
I’m walking to the town of Roses

Desperation lingers in the air
The anxiety of people
But I don’t care
I’m walking to the town of Roses

A cat rushes into a dark alley
A hungry dog follows
But I don’t care
I’m walking to the town of Roses

I’m getting nearer to the town’s fence
A shadow’s waiting
I care
I’m walking to the town of Roses

He grabs my hand
We enter the city
We care
We’re walking in the town of Roses
