Story behind the song
A song of the Glasgow Subway (their compact underground metro) and a strange encounter...
Lyrics
Silver Rose The last time I took the underground there were just two people and me stations shuffled by us one by one The old man and his wife came near and sat a touch away I raised my eyes She said, 'Excuse me son' We know you more than you'll understand we may be strangers to you a kindness we would ask to help us travel on I said of course and on my palm she placed a silver rose an envelope he passed into my other hand Please take this flower, and these memories they will never fade, and we will keep the promises we made The address was clear, I knew the street in half a mile I was there the stairway not the kind of place I'd call she looked at me with suspicious eyes til the rose lay in her hand she held the door as though perhaps she'd fall I told the tale of the subway car described the people I'd seen she whispered, 'it's impossible they've gone' The letter trembled in her hand as tears fell from her eyes the words she read still with me in the dawn Take this flower, and it's memories.... The last time I took the underground....
