Rosemary's Suite

from Photographs of 1971 by Don DiLego

/

lyrics

Come inside
Brighten up my lullabye
I’m wide awake
The curtains have withdrawn
The static on the radio sings to me
It’s a strange new world
That I see

Where are you gonna be
When I’m free
Cause I can’t wait
To tell you everything
There’s a red-lemon sun
Not an ordinary one
It’s a strange new world
That I have seen

Now I’ve been trying hard
To rearrange the stars
In the sky for you
Can you see them too?
It’s the only thing I’ve done
How desperate I’ve become
For Rosemary

The shallow sounds
Of drowning mouths
Come to me
Like walls of sand
Taking on the sea
It’s a story I’ve read
From the book that I’ve kept
It’s a strange new world
You gave to me

Now I’ve been trying hard
To rearrange the stars
In the sky for you
Can you see them too?
Now I’ve been trying hard
To vocalize my heart
In a word or two
Can you hear them too?

It’s the only thing I’ve done
How desperate I’ve become
For Rosemary
