Why didn't you come back home
Rosie
Were you crushed by love
And lonely night
At the time I was carried away
Led you astray
Lost in my way
But I remember you Rosie
On a late night drive
Feel the breeze down your spine
Wait and I drove away
But I know it
Wasn't easy
Oh I know it
You should've stayed at home Rosie
Were you crushed by love
And lonely night
At the time you were carried away
I led you astray
Lost in my way
But I remember you Rosie
Crawlin' through the sand
Reachin' out for your hand
Knockin' at your door
You're not there anymore
And never look back
