Mountain Time - Rosemary, Etc.

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
Rosemary, get out of my garden, please
I gave you everything you wanted
It wasn't what you dreamed
And we're on my way now so I guess you're on your own
And anyways, you know that Halloween was never quite my scene
I always wished that we was takin' off with everybody puttin' on
But, can't you see it clearer now, Rose
Those masks was on all along

★ Chorus ★
A burnt-out case is a lonely old way to leave, yeah-eah-eah-eah
There ain't no sad sea gonna be my authority, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yes, but can't you see those clouds?
The half-stitched crowns of that mystery?
Or can't you smell the flowers for the rosemary?

★ Verse 2 ★
And Melody, she comes to my window free
Always untroubled by the weather balloon in my front yard
Poor kid sits hypnotized by the glow of the TV light 'til dawn
You know sometimes I have to worry she's deceived
By the modesty of my things
Or just mesmerized by the death rattle
Of that cock he crows when he please
When she rings me up and says, "Sit down there
Boy, it's time to sing"

★ Chorus ★
A burnt-out case ain't the only old way to leave, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Just another baby who wasn't ready to be free, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yes, but can't you see those clouds?
The half-stitched crowns of that mystery?
Or can't you hear the song now for the melody?

★ Horns interlude ★

★ Outro ★
A burnt-out case is a lonely old way to leave, yeah-eah-eah-eah
There ain't no sad sea gonna be my authority, yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yes, but can't you see those clouds?
The half-stitched crowns of that mystery?
Or can't you smell the flowers for the rosemary?

★ Horns outro ★
