Lyrics

Rosemary
Lyrics: robert hunter
Music: jerry garcia

Recorded on aoxomoxoa. for a long time it was assumed it had never been been played live. but a tape of a performance on 7 december 1968 has recently come to light

Swath of heaven, a breath of cologne
*Her mirror* was a window she sat quite alone
All around her the garden grew
Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue

She came and she looked and at last went away
The garden was sealed when the flowers decayed
On the wall of the garden, a legend did say
"No one may come here, since no one may stay"
