Rosemarie

Pasting down the page from your rainy day

Waiting for the corners to curl back up anyway

Any way you move

You rattle like loose change in your own shoes

Pacing nervous like a hospital

It's crowded in the corners of your shower stall

Turn the water off and climb out and over the sides

You will be fine

Oh yeah, oh yeah

I don't expect you to take it from me

But open your eyes, Rosemarie

The good and the bad, everything we could grab

It's all free

Take it now, Rosemarie

I used to keep a wooden box by the bed on the floor

Hung a good luck doll off the knob on the door

Sometimes I look into the sun and wonder what all my worrying was really really for

I know you're suspicious of optimism's gleam

Especially coming from someone like me

But baby, I want to take you down to our woods

And wash your feet in that cold cold stream

Oh yeah, oh yeah

I don't expect you to take it from me

But open your eyes, Rosemarie

The good and the bad, the days that we had

It's all free

Take it now, Rosemarie, yeah

Take it now, Rosemarie, yeah

The good and the bad, take it from me

The days that we had, take it from me

The moon and the stars, take it from me

The light and the dark, take it from me

Take it now, Rosemarie
