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
