Rosalie

from Bound to Love by Jess Klein

lyrics

Rosalie I let you down
Said the words so cold and mean
I'm leaving town
Off to find another dream
I want to believe you'll smile for me
But this time I'm runnin' clean

From your landscape so harsh
Even neighbors stand apart
Stuck inside their stony views
Of a broke down avenue
Along the fault line where two souls sometimes meet
I didn't mean to leave you

Oh Rosalie
Someday we will meet
In an old familiar place
Wings upon my feet
Sunlight on your face
I'll lift you up so high
You won't ever have to cry
Oh and neither will I

I don't know what I will find
Surely it won't have the weight
Of a love so divine
That it burned right into hate
I'll be speeding down some desert road
And I'll shake my head at our fate

How you led me to this town
Said they needed me around
Needed me to shake the trees
And whip up a careless breeze
Then you blame me when old leaves fall down
Well, winds blow where they'll please

Oh Rosalie
Someday we will meet
In an old familiar place
Wings upon my feet
Sunlight on your face
I'll lift you up so high
You won't ever have to cry
Oh and neither will I
