Suzanne Vega “Rosemary” Lyrics/Testo & Video

ROSEMARY:

Do you remember how you walked with me • Down the street into the square?

How the women selling rosemary • Pressed the branches to your chest

Promised luck and all the rest • And put their fingers in your hair?

I had met you just the day before • Like an accident of fate

In the window there behind your door • How I wanted to break in

To that place beneath the skin • But all that would have to wait

In the Carmen of the Martyrs • With the statues in the courtyard

Whose heads and hands were taken • In the burden of the sun

I had come to meet you • With a question in my footsteps

I was going up the hillside • And the journey just begun

My sister says she never dreams at night • There are days when I know why

Those possibilities within her sight • With no way of coming true

Some things just don’t get through • Into this world , although they try

In the Carmen of the Martyrs • With the statues in the courtyard

Whose heads and hands were taken • In the burden of the sun

I had come to meet you • With a question in my footsteps

I was going up the hillside • And the journey just begun

All I know of you • Is in my memory

All I ask is you • Remember me
