Rosie lyrics

Song information

Artist: Tom Waits
Album: Closing Time

Lyrics

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..
