about

A brief love affair following a chance encounter by two people on a train journey. Romantic imagery surrounds them in this gentle tale of lessons learned from a failed relationship.

lyrics

He saw her on the last train from the city,
She was staring out the window into black.
Losing sight of everything that told her who she was
And wondering if she'd ever get it back.
The train pulled in too soon at platform one
And as she stood to leave he caught her eye.
He cast the line that held her in that moment
And somewhere in the night the dance began.

He asked her in his glance if she'd like to dance.
A busker in the market square was playing
"For the Roses".

She was small and way too complicated.
Her life forever in parenthesis.
He never knew which her he'd find
Waiting at the door.
She'd say that she was really fine
And tell him just to pour the wine.
So he believed all this was true
'Til the day it wasn't anymore.

He asked her in his glance if she'd like to dance.
A busker in the market square was playing
"For the Roses".

She left him, took the first train to the city.
She raised her and and mouthed the word "goodbye".
Losing sight of everything that told him who she was,
He turned away and walked back to his life.
A momentary visit to his heart was all she was.
It wouldn't shake the wings of butterflies.
But she had shown him that there is a time to want to dance
And time to cut the line to Paradise.

He asked her in his glance if she'd like to dance.
A busker in the market square was playing
"For the Roses"
"For the Roses"
A busker in the market square was playing
"For the Roses".
