I Smelt Roses (in the Underground) Lyrics

nearly fell down a basement floor as
i weaved my way through the well dressed crowds
in search of you.
i took hope from the saxophone though
her mouth grew cold she still blew out
a symphony. . .
the scene is familiar. i look again.
when i came here with you
before it was different.
i saw beauty in this wasted land
i smelt roses in the underground
i saw a future when you were around.
but now it's over.
through the darkness i called your name
as the friendly faces mode their way
t0 see the game.
someone stopped me and asked the way
i shrugged and smiled but she glared at me
impatiently.
the amercan waitress still knows your name
when i came here with you
before it was different.
i saw beauty in this wasted land
i smelt roses in the underground
i saw a future when you were around
but now it's over.
you'll always haunt me.
