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
