lyrics

Rosemary

Forty-seven years I knew you for only twelve of those
I can remember how your face had a big smile
at the hint of any good news

Rosemary where have you gone?
You’ve been away for so long

As a youth I heard Mr. Williams sing about how he was so lonesome he could cry
and maybe as a child I knew more about what it meant to feel something

Rosemary where did you go?
There’s something I want you to know

You grasped the wheel with both hands
as you took me for a drive to the birthday party
I was only five years old but I knew that something was wrong
as you were so unsteady

For the record I know that you were careful with your hands
but you knew that the tide was coming for your castle in the sand

Rosemary please take me home
We’ve been on this road too long
Oh mother can you hear me crying?
There’s something I want you to see

You had the disease for a while
and it seemed that for a time it was dormant
but then like the tide it came and took your life
the nervous system and the respiratory
