Dear Rosemary
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 got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me
I couldn't grow just living in the shadow
Where do you go when no one's following you?
You ran away, ran away, it was right on queue
Shall I go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on again?
Rosemary, you're part of me
You know (you are, you are, you are)
Rosemary, you're part of me
You know (you are, you are, you are)
Rosemary, please pardon me
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die
Dear Rosemary
Dear Rosemary
You got away, got away, got away with things
You got away, got away, got away with things
False starts, young hearts get shattered
Pick up the pieces coming down around you
You ran away, ran away, it was right on queue
Can I go on, and on,and on, and on, and on, and on again?
Rosemary, you're part of me
You know (you are, you are, you are)
Rosemary, you're part of me
You know (you are, you are, you are)
Rosemary, please pardon me
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die
This was no ordinary life (this was no ordinary life)
This was no ordinary lie (this was no ordinary lie)
I'm here from now on
But once, I'm gone
I'm gone
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die
Dear Rosemary (dear Rosemary)
You're part of me (you're part of me)
Dear Rosemary (dear Rosemary)
Please pardon me (please pardon me)
Dear Rosemary
You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me
