Rosie

from EP by Benjamin James Caldwell

about

A song about love, love that may not be perfect, perhaps gritty or tarnished, perhaps dependant... but love nonetheless

the inspiration for this song was born out of a conversation with my good friend Sam Smoothy, when asked about his new found love he replied "rosie she aint no trouble at all"

lyrics

Well Rosie shes my lover
Painted saint, convicted sinner
walking talking conduit to god
Sometimes she puts her hand in mine
Puts my soul into her pocket
Holds it meaning never to let go

See Without her I'm a pauper
Im a beggin' broken man
Waiting for a gold coin in the dust
If there's a rain cloud hanging over
Then she's my silver lining
The only family I will ever know

Chorus :
There's been hard times,
carried heavy loads
But Rosie she aint no trouble at all

Some people call her crazy
Still she sticks around
whistling slow or singing
something sad
Shes a quandry melancholy
Divided and dismissive
And I wouldnt have her any other way

Made my share of choices
I've been Bent over a barrel,
regrets a word That's wasted on the weak
See If i did it over i would make the same mistakes
Knowing they'd lead me straight into her arms

Chorus:

Comes a time for every man
To love someone with fervour
Give up what's been kept safe for so long
This kind of love can drive a man
to sacrifice or murder
Rosie holds me safely on the line

Chorus:
