Johan and Rose
We were very few to see it
You turning in your grave
The marching band came running
Really way too late
You put your arms around her
And take the long road 'cause you can
This was never part of your plan
We were very few to notice
The drinks were running out
The candlelights were fading
Hanging on to doubt
The pirate took his downfall
No night for buccaneers
Every patchless eye would burst to tears
Johan and Rose
You climbed the fence and you fell down
And you're weary from a long day on the road
Johan and Rose
There was hardly any room here
But then you didn't need so much
The joker in his corner
Played his final flush
And everyone moved closer
Tried to keep you safe
No one thought it possible to leave this place
Johan and Rose...
So we gathered wood for fires
Though you were burning up
And in your eyes desires
Four eyes is enough
Sometimes things are hidden
That seem so plain to see
Johan took his Rose
And seized to be
