Rosemary
(Engel)
Em(add9)
Voices from a photograph
Laughed from your wall, screamed through your dreams
Dm(add9) Am(maj6) B7(b9)
Wake up, Rosemary and wipe your teary eyes
Em(add9)
Rise and cross the cold bare floor
And watch the moon through frosted glass
Dm(add9) Am(maj6) B7(b9)
Damn that photograph - I'll have to take it down
E A E A
She hears the boats as they move down the river
G C Dm Am(add9)
She sees a dog straining hard on his leash to get away
E A E A
She hears the clock and it strikes like a hammer
G C Dm Em(add9)
Pounding the nails one day further in the coffin of her youth
Evenings with your mother's friends
Pregnant eyes, sagging chins
Dm(add9) Am(maj6) B7(b9)
Swollen fingertips pour antique cups of tea
Em(add9)
Who are you, and where you been?
Suspended in a weightless wind
Dm(add9) Am(maj6) B7(b9)
Watching trains go by from platforms in the rain
E A E A
Look at the photograph, dream back last summer
G C Dm Am(add9)
Dream back the lips of that travelling salesman, Mr Gin
E A E A
He smelt of miracles and stained glass whispers
G C Dm Em(add9)
You loved his laughter, you tremble beneath him once again
A G Em F#m
That's what I want, a new shot at life
G F#m7
But my coat's too thin, my feet won't fly
Emaj7 Bm7
And I watch the wind and I see another dream
Em(add9)
Blowin' by
