Rose I Said |
Yes I cried the moment that her hand slapped my face |
A mouth full of sandwich went all over the place |
She left like a tornado the door of course slammed |
I stood in the kitchen a very confused man |
The thump thump of her foot steps went right up the stairs |
The cat ran for cover to the living room chairs |
But what was the problem what on earth could be wrong |
To deserve a slapped face it all seemed far too strong |
Rose I said, heaven knows what we’ve done |
Rose I said, water flows under the bridge |
Rose I said, heaven knows is this love |
Rose I said, curtains close back to read the script |
Up to the bedside where she lay in tears |
The drawers were left half open, her clothes laying near |
A suitcase tipped sideways at the end of the room |
I swallowed my sandwich and picked up her boots |
She turned just like an actress, a glare came my way |
I said what’s the matter, what have I done today |
She spat out the name of the girl across the road |
I’ll never forget the way she flared her nose |
Rose was the girl who some days I’d drive to work |
She worked in the office as an articled clerk |
Sometimes we had lunch in the pub along the street |
There was nothing between us, just good company |
I admit that I liked her but that’s all it was |
I stood at the bedside in a state of shock |
She heard it different from a friend she met today |
Who says she saw us kissing down an alleyway |
I felt like two people a Jekyll and a Hyde |
I’d really made my bed to lay in this time |
I picked with my tongue at the bread stuck in my teeth |
There through the window, her house on the street |
I knew I was guilty, I told myself to lie |
It seemed to make no difference, on the bed she cried |
I left with my head bowed I felt the curtain drop |
Rose stood in the wings looking pretty in a frock |
