Rosa
|
(J. Lyon/B. Bandiera)
|
|
Out in the street guitars are playing
|
Distant and soft like an old radio
|
Inside the fan sends the curtains to sway
|
The evening's come and, babe, I must go
|
I came to this place lost and alone
|
Found a love I've never felt before
|
Now all that's left is this broken heart
|
A Pinata spilled out on the floor
|
|
And, hey, Rosa, come closer
|
Ay ay ay I won't see you anymore
|
But, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore
|
|
Man on the street, he beggin' me to come with
|
I laughed at myself, but I went along
|
Just for one look at the woman he offered
|
Maybe she's something I can use in a song
|
Oh, but he opened up the door to my heart
|
Much to my shame and to my surprise
|
Now, when I look back, I search for a way
|
To cross the border, back into your eyes
|
|
And, hey, Rosa, come closer
|
Ay ay ay I won't see you anymore
|
But, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore
|
|
Out on the street the last light is fading
|
While in this house, love dies bit by bit
|
Children gone and the wife's slowly leaving
|
Pull up a chair and at my window I sit
|
I wonder if I'll ever get up the nerve
|
Go back down south and find you again
|
Break away from these sad suburban streets
|
And let my real life begin whooa
|
|
And, hey, Rosa, come closer
|
Ay ay ay I won't leave you anymore
|
And, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore
|
|
And, hey, Rosa, come closer
|
Ay ay ay I won't leave you anymore
|
And, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore
|
It's you I adore
|
|
Hey, Rosa, you know that sun is going on down
|
Take a walk with me, darling
|
Through this dusty border town
|
Some lonesome dog is barking as we're moving down the street
|
I fold you in my arms, you smell so sweet
|
Oh, come on, Rosa, come on, baby
|
Hey Rosa
