Your eyes just leave me in a trance
Your lips don't make me understand, my love
Tell me what went wrong
You drew a line across the sand
Said you and I will never be enough
We've got to carry on
Well you left me in the dust, but you're all I see, Rosie
A smile was plastered on your face
In your lover's bittersweet embrace that night
With your red dress on
When he left you in the downtown rain
I was there to wipe the tears from your brown eyes
And keep you strong
You know my heart was made for you and you only, Rosie
Do I become a less familiar face
Every time we meet again
Maybe it's my chance to change your mind
But you're running wild and making plans
For one to take you by the hand
If you'll slow down and open up your eyes
My love is here, babe
Just tell me why
You built your home so far away
With your paper crown and castle walls so high
Have you forgotten me
I tell myself it's not too late
But I'm drowning in the sea of your goodbyes
With all the memories
But still I hold on to you like a distant dream, Rosie
Yeah I will wait, I will wait for you to love me, Rosie
