Rosie, lyric by Tom Waits

from the songs album Closing Time

Well i'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade? rosie,
How can i persuade? rosie...

And the moon's all up, full and big,
Apricot tips in an indigo sky,
And i've been loving you, rosie,
Since the day i was born
And i'll love you, rosie 'til the day i die.
Rosie, why do you evade? rosie,
How can i persuade? rosie...

Rosie, why do you evade? rosie,
How can i persuade? rosie...

And i'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade?
Rosie, how can i persuade? rosie...
