Rosies

You are the last of all the rosies
He was the weight and all that’s worth
Your eyes are those of a traveller
Sucking the marrow from the earth

Tried to run over; it ran over you
Strong is a word that you called the few
In the midst of a list, you wrote, struck by the hues
You know so well

You know so well
We’ve been spinnin’ stories that just won’t sell
‘Cause you’re stuck in time
Can’t change your mind
It’s been left behind

You know so well
That everything goes to hell

The roof grew lazier, remember?
The moans it groaned would tuck you in
When you awoke the sky was over
On hands and knees, you lived again

Can’t tell a lie if I look in your eye
All these years have passed you by
Want just to laugh but I can’t help but cry
You know so well

You know so well
We’ve been spinning stories that just won’t sell
‘Cause you’re stuck in time
Can’t change your mind
It’s been left behind

You know so well
Everything goes

You know so well
