Rosa

(J. Lyon/B. Bandiera)



Out in the street guitars are playing

Distant and soft like an old radio

Inside the fan sends the curtains to sway

The evening's come and, babe, I must go

I came to this place lost and alone

Found a love I've never felt before

Now all that's left is this broken heart

A Pinata spilled out on the floor



And, hey, Rosa, come closer

Ay ay ay I won't see you anymore

But, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore



Man on the street, he beggin' me to come with

I laughed at myself, but I went along

Just for one look at the woman he offered

Maybe she's something I can use in a song

Oh, but he opened up the door to my heart

Much to my shame and to my surprise

Now, when I look back, I search for a way

To cross the border, back into your eyes



And, hey, Rosa, come closer

Ay ay ay I won't see you anymore

But, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore



Out on the street the last light is fading

While in this house, love dies bit by bit

Children gone and the wife's slowly leaving

Pull up a chair and at my window I sit

I wonder if I'll ever get up the nerve

Go back down south and find you again

Break away from these sad suburban streets

And let my real life begin whooa



And, hey, Rosa, come closer

Ay ay ay I won't leave you anymore

And, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore



And, hey, Rosa, come closer

Ay ay ay I won't leave you anymore

And, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore

It's you I adore



Hey, Rosa, you know that sun is going on down

Take a walk with me, darling

Through this dusty border town

Some lonesome dog is barking as we're moving down the street

I fold you in my arms, you smell so sweet

Oh, come on, Rosa, come on, baby

Hey Rosa
