Deter Rue - Rosie Come Down Lyrics

There was a girl named Rosie, she left with all her stuff
She said that she was sorry, but she just ain't good enough
She bent the light like planets, with her gravitational pull
She ate the moon and stars, and told me she was full
Come down, come down, Rosie, come down
Oh Rosie, won't you please come down
The light that shines within you, is like no other sound
That light that shines within you, Rosie, it has no bounds
The cruel winds of time, they called poor Rosie's bluff
With looks to spare, sometimes, that just ain't enough
Holes in pockets, will lose you all your change
And once it all goes missing, there's no value that remains
Come down, come down, Rosie, come down
Oh Rosie, won't you please come down
The light that shines within you, is like no other sound
That light that shines within you, Rosie, it has no bounds
Oh Rosie, that friend who brought you here, is nowhere to be found
Your hands were wrapped, your tongue was tied, as you hit the ground
The turning that has taken you, well, it did not make a sound
And all was lost as you spun, and you were never found
She broke her heart upon the rocks, and it flew away on wings
The rocks they cried, and the waters surged, and the poets they did sing
The mountains bowed, the moon it fell and the river stopped its dance
Oh Rosie my sweet Rosie, you never stood a chance
You never stood a chance
But Rosie, if only, you could have seen through my eyes
Perhaps those voices, would have stopped, telling you those lies
And you would still be here with me, beneath these satin skies
And you would still be here with me, without these saddened cries
Come down, come down, Rosie, come down
Oh Rosie, won't you please come down
The light that shines within you, is like no other sound
That light that shines within you, Rosie, it has no bounds
Oh Rosie, my sweet Rosie, your light it had no bounds
