Rosemary lyrics

[Verse 1]

Voices from a photograph

Laughed from your wall, screamed through your dreams

Wake up Rosemary and wipe your teary eyes

Rise and cross the cold bare floor

And watch the moon through frosted glass

Damn that photograph, I'll have to take it down!

She hears the boats as they move down the river

She sees a dog straining hard on his leash to get away

She hears the clock and it strikes like a hammer

Pounding the nails one day further in the coffin of her youth

[Verse 2]

Evenings with your mother's friends

Pregnant eyes, sagging chins

Swollen fingertips pour antique cups of tea

Who are you and where you been?

Suspended in a weightless wind

Watching trains go by from platforms in the rain

Look at the photograph, dream back last summer

Dream back the lips of that travelling salesman, Mr. Jim

He smelt of miracles with stained glass whispers

You loved his laughter, you tremble beneath him once again

[Outro]

That's what I want

A new shot at life

But my coat's too thin, my feet won't fly

And I watch the wind and I see another dream

Blowin' by...
