She had a long line of lovers,
mostly the gambling kind I didn't want to be like the others, 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 and get what she wants
I had a weakness for her kind
of woman I could never deny
I knew I wouldn't ever see it coming
Till 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
Till I no longer cared
Tonight I saw the red -red rose
and the yellow moon
Shining on a silhouette lying in the
shadows of my favorite room
I knew it when we made love that I could
n't quit calling the name that I gave
Hit by another fast -moving train
I've been hit by another fast
-moving train
I wondered as I lay there and held it
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 till she fell asleep to whisper
Baby look what you've done
Tonight I saw the red red rose
and the yellow moon
Shining on the silhouette lying in
the shadows of my bedroom
I knew it when we made love and I
could not quit calling her name
And I've been hit by another
fast -moving train
Tonight I saw the red -red rose
and the yellow moon
Shining on the silhouette lying in
the shadows of my bedroom
I knew it when we made love and I
couldn't quit calling your name
But I've been hit by another
fast moving train
I've been hit by another fast
moving train
You
