rose marie
in the dress that she wore
she felt clumsy and poor
and the sadness she felt was betrayed
by the wealth in the room that she crossed
on her way to the bar
as the band played a waltz
she felt lonely and lost
 
rose marie’s eyes are shining
she holds me - my heart’s flying
 
in 1964 she was in love with paul
by 1966 she was married with kids
and the dreams that she had were replaced
by the debt that her family built up
they left home; leaving her
 
rose marie’s eyes are shining
she holds me - my heart’s flying
why should I feel guilty?
I’ve never felt like this before
and, if my mam could see me
she’d be shouting out for more
personnel
