Lyrics
Yes, I cried the moment that her hand slapped my face
Her mouthful of sandwich went all over the place
She left like a tornado, the door caught a strand
I stood in the kitchen, a very confused man
The thump thump of her footsteps 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, all seemed far too strong
Rose I say, heaven knows what we've done
Rose I say, water flows under the bridge
Rose I say, heaven knows, is this love?
Rose I say, curtains closed by Theresa's script
Up to the bedside where she lay in tears
The drawers were left open, her clothes lay in mirror
Her suitcase stood sideways at the end of the room
I swallowed my sandwich and picked up her boots
She turned just like an actress, her 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 I say, heaven knows what we've done
Rose I say, water flows under the bridge
Rose I say, heaven knows, is this love?
Rose I say, curtains closed by Theresa's script
Rose was a girl whose old days I tried to work
She worked in the office as an article 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 that it was
I stared at the bedside in a state of shock
She heard it different from a friend she met today
Who said 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 flicked with my tongue at the bread stuck in my teeth
And then 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 window, still kissing in a frock
Rose I say, heaven knows what we've done
Rose I say, water flows under the bridge
Rose I say, heaven knows, is this love?
Rose I say, curtains closed by Theresa's script
Rose I say, heaven knows what we've done
Rose I say, water flows under the bridge
Rose I say, heaven knows, is this love?
Rose I say, curtains closed by Theresa's script
Rose I say
Rose I say
Rose I say
