Lyrics
Rosa
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can hear her crying faintly through the walls
A husky man's voice echoes in the hall
Banging with a roar
It's not your business where I've been
Open up this door before I kick it in
Promised to each other back in Sicily
Papa made a deal with the family
My word will be my bond
Our blood will be the tie
To keep this household strong
No matter who must die
Rosa, heaven chose her
Ciro posed her
In the pictures on the mantles
In her wedding dress
Rosa, no one knows her
Rosa, the lady next door
The deed was done for all the sons that she would bear
They married her young and they buried her there
A prisoner of fate
Aching to be free
She will get them back just you wait and see
Rosa, heaven chose her
Ciro posed her
In the pictures on the mantles
In her wedding dress
Rosa, no one knows her
Rosa, the lady next door
Everything is quiet on the second floor
The ambulance has come to take them to the morgue
I wasn't here but I heard it on the stoop
She stabbed him in his sleep and then shot herself to boot
Rosa, heaven chose her
Ciro posed her
In the pictures on the mantles
In her wedding dress
Yes, it's Rosa, no one knows her
Rosa, the lady next door
