She had a long line of loves,
Mostly the gambling kind.
I didn't want to be like the others,
And get left behind.
I heard about her bad reputation,
And how she had a heart of stone.
How she'd give a man a moment of pleasure,
To get what she wants.

I had a weakness for her kind of woman,
I could never deny,
I know I wouldn' ever see it coming,
'Til I was lost in her eyes.
The more I tried to keep her at a distance,
The more I became aware.
She was breaking down my resistance,
'Til I no longer cared.
Tonight I saw a red, red rose in the yellow moon.
Shining on a silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom.
I knew it when we made love,
And I couldn't quit calling her name,
That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.
I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.
I wondered, as I lay there and held her,
"Why can't this be real?"
Why the fear wouldn't let me tell her,
How good she made me feel.
I doubted if she would even be around,
When the morning comes.
I waited 'til she fell asleep to whisper,
"Baby, look what you've done."
Tonight I saw a red, red rose in the yellow moon.
Shining on a silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom.
I knew it when we made love,
And I could not quit calling her name.
That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.
Tonight I saw a red, red rose in the yellow moon.
Shining on a silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom.
I knew it when we made love,
And I couldn't quit calling her name.
That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.
I'd been hit by another fast movin' train.
