Rosalie (CH. II) - Lewis Del Mar

Right outside

She was…

I was dancing alive

Dilating the eye

On the fourth of July

Rosalie

You were grieving a life

In the room above mine

The police were outside

And I saw you wailing

Ooh, I saw you wailing

In the street (That boy, that boy)

Ooh, I saw you wailing

Ooh, I saw you wailing

Like that was me (That boy, that boy, ah-ha-ha)

You are my mother, my father, my brother

You are my mother, my father, my brother

Ooh, Rosalie

I need to reach

A life outside my mind

The cycle of life is a loop, my friend

I saw it on 98th at the housing across from Jake’s place

She was holding him and he was watching her

Watch him, hold him

You were praying in light

Blue white in the night

Red mahogany

Rosary

I believe only sight and I see

That’s Gabriel beneath, the white sheet

Like the holy ghost

And I know we’re sailing

I know we’re sailing

Some place far from here

Ooh, I know we’re sailing

When we bailing water weight

To keep the conscience clear

Oh my

You are my mother, my father, my brother

You are my mother, my father, my brother

Ooh, Rosalie

I need to reach

A life outside my mind

You are my mother, my father, my brother

You are my mother, my father, my brother

Ooh, Rosalie

I need to reach

A life outside my mind

Last light above the water

When everybody looked the same

You were holding on my body

And my mother nearly gave me his name

Like a Trombley, or a Twombly

A tomb for him gone heaven way

Rosalie, what do I tell you?

Seems this hell the only place
