Rosemary Blue

(album: Emergence - 1971)

You tried to wake me in the morning,
This was our moment of goodbye
You asked me once, how long I'd love you,
I told you 'till the day I die
And now at last my life is over,
You cannot go where I have gone
I won't be there to share tomorrow,
I love you so, but life goes on
Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,
Take a look outside,
There's a world that waits for you
Live your life, Rosemary Blue,
Put your lonely tears away,
Wait an' see, there'll come a day,
I'll be with you

We used to walk the world together,
and found our love along the way
But now you must go on without me,
We cannot live in yesterday
Don't bring your flowers to the church yard,
Only the past is waiting there
You should be out somewhere forgetting,
Wearing those flowers in your hair
Dry your eyes, Rosemary Blue,
Take a look around,
There's a world outside that waits for you
Live your life, Rosemary Blue,
Put your lonely tears away,
Wait an' see, there'll come a day,
I'll be with you
Rosemary Blue,
Rosemary Blue.
