Rosie's Song

by Jim Bryce

/

about

A jazz-tinged mood song above lost love.

lyrics

There goes that phone again.
Wish that it would die or just dissolve to air.
It seems I'm never usually in.
Talk to a man with a voice like mine.
He don't say much but, yes, it's fine
I never thought I be alone again.

When you're lying at the bottom, and the top seems very far away,
there's nothing left to say.
And when you've kicked all the traces but the years keep creeping nearer... near,
it's hard to stay away.

Make a coffee, make the bed,
maybe turn the T V on instead, instead of "Hello, Rosie. How you bin?
Talk in pauses, say it's fine
as if there'd never been a line between you
and someone that you'd known you'd never really seen

Drop of Whisky, plenty of ice,
Tell me did you know the Hotel Paradise?
No. I’ve never been before.
I'm just a gypsy going nowhere particularly.
Time was I would take the road and never turn.
It's just the memories that burn.
