Rose darling, come to me; Snke Mary's gone to bed. All our steaming sounds of love cannot disturb her in her night Or raise her sleeping head. All I must ask of you is make my widest dreams come true; No one sees and no one knows Rose darling, come to me; Snake Mary dreams along. I would guess she's in Detroit with lots of money in the bank Although I could be wrong. You must know it's right the spore is on the wind tonight; You won't feel it till it grows. Rose darling [Rose darling] My friend, With only you and what I've found we'll wear the weary hours down. [solo] Rose darling, come to me; the clock is close at hand. All my empty words of love can never screen the flash I feel Or make you understand. Oh, honey, can't you see, I know it's real, it's got to be; Why not chase it where it grows? [chorus]
