ROSE CAFE

My lover called me at 7 PM
And how was your day I can hear her say
Guess I'll pass on dinner I've got things to do here
I'll see you later my dear

I had a feeling something was not right
so I followed my lover into the night
Found people laughing and things going on
Down at the Rose Cafe.

She's down at the Rose Cafe
Laughing and talking the night away
And how was your day, I can hear her say
to her man at the Rose Cafe

I'm parked in back, I heard him say
It's up to you, she replied
It was one o'clock when they drove away
And all I could do was hide
Now we could have lived in a house on the hill
Facing the sea in the moonlight.
Make love at dawn, but for coffee still, I know
she'll go down to the Rose Cafe


So I'm looking for another love
Someone who's just like her, but comes home at night
My mistake was telling her, she was the only one
It's just that, when there's another man
It's not much fun.

It's been five years since she went away
I know because I miss her so every day
Where are you darling, won't you please come home
I'm down at the Rose Cafe

I'm down at the Rose Cafe
Across from me a pretty girl laughs the night away
And how was your day, I can hear her say
to her man at the Rose Cafe.
