Rosie
(Tom Waits 1973)
Well I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade?
Rosie

And the moon's all up, full and big, apricot tips in an indigo sky
And I've been loving you Rosie, since the day I was born
And I'll love you Rosie, 'til the day I die
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade?
Rosie

Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade?
Rosie

And I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade?
Rosie
