"Rosalee" lyrics

Rosalee

As I lay here all alone
I feel the darkness coming on
It's too late to try
To catch the sinking sun
But the seasons of my mind
They're walking back through summer time
When the sun was bright
And our new love was blind

Rosalee
Won't you come
And walk through summertime with me

At your mother's house tonight
I kissed the sunshine of my life
As I tucked him in his little baby bed
When I turned to walk away
My thoughts ran back to yesterday
When I held you close to me and softly said

Rosalee
I can see in him
A part of you and me

At the market place today
I overheard somebody say
In three short weeks
You'd marry my best friend
But the seasons of your mind
Will walk again through summertime
When you feel me
In the touch of my son's hand

Rosalee
You'll be walking
With the living end of me

With my hand clutched to my head
They'll find me in this lonely bed
Where you told me
You were through with loving me
Maybe then your seasons mind
Will walk again through summertime
When our sun is shining six feet over me

Rosalee
Guess your leaving took the living out of me
