Behind the Rose

Today I met a woman

I don't think you know

She showed me a smile

Nobody's ever shown

She took off her clothes

And her jacket I fold

She told me 'bout somewhere

Behind a rose

It's looking out a bed

She said, "Seeing somebody's close"

It's knowing that tomorrow

You're not gonna wake up alone

It's the feeling of those legs upon my bones

That's the beauty behind the rose

It's walking down the street to your old home

It's the feeling of your feet on that familiar stone

It's all those little things she does that let you know

That's the beauty behind the rose

And once you find it, I know you won't wanna go

You stay up so late, you'll fall asleep in your clothes

You can't take back a song, once it's been wrote

But that's the beauty behind the rose
