To Gloria - Train

All the lights have faded on these streets of this forgotten town
That's when she flips the open sign
Then turns it back around
The working men pull up walk in
They're all on borrowed time
Monday morning hopes and dreams are dying on the vine
I never told a single soul
She's buried in the past
A thousand miles of broken hearts
Her name on every overpass
I still send flowers with the name
A flame that burned too fast
To Gloria
That abandoned pool near our high school
Used for everything but getting wet
You walked up to me in your Guess jeans
Thought you might have just lost a bet
But you grabbed right hold of both my hands
Said"I love this song come on let's dance"
That night it lasted all summer long
Then just like that the thrill was gone
I never told a single soul she's buried in the past
A thousand miles of broken hearts
Her name on every overpass
I still send flowers with the name
A flame that burned too fast
To Gloria
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
I still send flowers with the name
A flame that burned too fast
To Gloria
To all the hearts you burned since then
We raise a tear-filled glass
To Gloria
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
Red roses don't mean anything
