Royston Rose

Royston Rose is back tomorrow
You'll be on your own today
Looking for some time to borrow
Looking for a place to stay

Sympathy, a canned expression
Takes the weight of time from you
Comfort in the time of tension
Till the real confusion through

When a face is all you'll need
Royston Rose is there
He can do things for you

Does he ever hold back comfort
When decisions can't be made
When you've lost the key to your thoughts
He won't look the other way

All my friends are rushing off to
Places they can sit and hide
Till the troubles all blow over
And it's calm again outside

Well a face is all you'll need
Royston Rose is there
He can do things for you

Royston Rose is back tomorrow
You'll be on your own today
Looking for some time to borrow
Looking for a place to stay

Royston Rose I need your presence
Take the edges off my life
Bake a cake with many raisins
Come around and bring a slice

When a face is all you'll need
Royston Rose is there
He can do things for you

Pass the cake
