Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw you curled by the shuttered shop door
Paper cup, chipped nail polish
I asked your name, you said, "It's Rose"
Like you wished it still meant something
[Verse 2]
You said, "Once had a house, had a garden
Kids in school, husband in a suit
Thought I’d try my luck one evening
Tiny bet turned into the truth"
[Chorus]
Rose on the pavement
Used to sit at her own kitchen table
Life was sweet, now it’s not
Lost the lot on a flutter and a fable
Rose on the pavement
Says, "It’s mad how fast it goes
One wrong turn, one bad habit
Now the street’s the only home I know"
[Verse 3]
"You keep chasing what you’re losing
Double down, you don’t look back
Pawned the rings, then pawned the telly
By the time I stopped, there was nothing left to pack"
[Verse 4]
"Started drinking to forget it
Then I drank to stand the rain
Friends crossed over to the other side
Wouldn’t meet my eyes again"
[Chorus]
Rose on the pavement
Used to sit at her own kitchen table
Life was sweet, now it’s not
Lost the lot on a flutter and a fable
Rose on the pavement
Says, "It’s mad how fast it goes
One wrong turn, one bad habit
Now the street’s the only home I know"
[Bridge]
"You’ll go home, I’ll stay here" (mm)
You half-smiled, then looked away
"I had a family, once, you know
I just gambled them all away"
[Chorus]
Rose on the pavement
Tries to light a damp cigarette
Life was sweet, now it’s not
Some mistakes don’t let you forget
Rose on the pavement
Pulls her coat tight from the cold
Says, "Don’t end up like me, love
Some stories just stay untold"
[Outro]
Next day I walked down the same old road
Just an empty space where you’d been
Someone said they’d found a woman
Curled up quiet, fast asleep in the wind
