about

So if followed this girl across the planet from the UK in 1981 hoping love would conquer all, but love had other plans & that's OK, but, in recent years, she's still shown up twice at shows, out of the blue, during the intro to this song. Life / art / happenstance / whathaveyou

lyrics

I’M GOING DOWN TO ROSIE’S
TELL YOU WHAT I’M GONNA DO
I’M GONNA FIND ME THAT WOMAN
‘COS SHE GOT ME FEELING BLUE
SHE’S A RUNAROUND
AIN’T NO TELLIN’ WHAT A MAN MIGHT DO

ROSIE DON’T YOU TRY SO HARD TO COVER UP
WHAT YOU’RE REALLY FEELING NOW
ROSIE YOU AND I WERE NEVER STAR CROSSED LOVERS
WHAT ARE YOU REALLY FEELING NOW?


I’M GOING DOWN THIS EVENING
AND I’M BOUND TO GO ALONE
I’M GOING TO THE END OF THE SEVEN OCEANS ROAD
‘COS SHE TURNED ME DOWN
BEFORE I GO
I GOT TO KNOW

ROSIE DON’T YOU TRY SO HARD TO…


THERE ‘S A TRAIN LEAVES HERE THIS MORNING
WILL TAKE ME FAR FROM HERE
THERE’S A FACE AGAINST THE WINDOW
CARRESSED BY A SINGLE TEAR
DON’T YOU TURN AROUND
DON’T YOU FEAR

ROSIE DON’T YOU TRY SO HARD TO…
