Rosanne - The Silencers

The house was filling up

Like it was New Year

With friends of mine

I’ve never met before

And in among

The singing and drinking

I saw you standing

Silent by the door

And in your eyes

I see your heart

Is breaking

Yes in your eyes

I’m still your secret boy

For we were young

And we were only playing

We thought we were immune

Inside our joy

Rosanne

Rosanne

You married into money

And to trouble

Trying to escape

This world we knew

Where everything’s decide

By your station

You wanted to believe

It wasn’t true

And then I heard the whispers

And the stories

Oh how your public

Analysed your pain

It seems to me we all

Derive some pleasure

From watching someone

Rise then fall again

Rosanne

Rosanne

I heard about the others

That you went through

You cannot keep a secret

In this town

Where everyone is friendly

To your face but

Don’t challenge the laws

That they lay down

A woman on her own

Can be a victim

A woman on her own

Can always cry

It looks to me that you

Could use a friend now

The night has certain needs

To satisfy

Rosanne

Rosanne

Rosanne

Rosanne

Is crying
