Lyrics
A house here in Detroit is empty tonight
A house in Detroit is vacant tonight.
The girl who once lived here has caught the morning flight
The girl who used to live there has left on an early morning flight.
Her native state of Texas is calling her back home
Her home state of Texas is beckoning her to return.
And tonight a lovely rose will bloom in San Antone
And tonight, a beautiful rose will blossom in San Antone.
Down in San Antone a rose will bloom
In San Antone, a rose will bloom.
In a house back in Detroit cigarette smoke fills the room
In a house in Detroit, cigarette smoke lingers in the air.
An empty room reminds me that she's gone lord she's gone
An empty room serves as a poignant reminder that she has departed.
And tonight a lovely rose will bloom in San Antone
And tonight, a lovely rose will bloom in San Antone.
San Antone is noted for the roses that it bears
San Antone is renowned for the roses it produces.
Just like any city built out of wires and stairs
Similar to any city with its structures and complexity.
Somewhere in that tangled mess they're calling her back home
In that intricate cityscape, a call from her home state is echoing.
And tonight in San Antone a lovely rose will bloom
And tonight in San Antone, a beautiful rose will bloom.
Down in San Antone a rose will bloom
In San Antone, a rose will blossom.
In a house back in Detroit cigarette smoke fills the room
In a Detroit house, the scent of cigarette smoke lingers.
An empty room reminds me that she's gone lord she's gone
An empty room emphasizes the absence of the departed loved one.
And tonight a lovely rose will bloom in San Antone
And tonight, a lovely rose will bloom in San Antone.
And tonight in San Antone a lovely rose will bloom
And tonight in San Antone, a beautiful rose will bloom.
