By the bus stop on the boardwalk by the sandHe stands there with his guitar in his handAnd every emotion you can feelHe just pulls from his box of wood and steelBut late in the evening the music will lose its charmAnd with shaking hands he'll tighten the belt around his armAnd he's gonna get high for a momentHe's gonna get by for a momentHe's gonna be fine for a whileWith a half unconscious smileWhere the city and the ocean come to meetDown on Rose StreetThe tourist and the locals gather 'roundAnd he plays while they throw their quarters downAnd God himself would be happy as hellIf he could play maybe half as wellBut it's cold in the nighttime when you ain't got a roomSo he takes his comfort from a lighter and a spoonNow it's quiet on the boardwalk by the sandAnd I pause in the place he used to standBut when I close my eyes I hear the music even moreSongtexteIn the rhythm of the waves against the shoreAnd it makes me high for a momentAnd I'm gonna get by for a momentI'm gonna be fine for a whileAs the memory makes me smileWhere the city and the ocean come to meetDown on Rose Street Aus Songtexte Mania
