Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - Wild Rosemarie lyrics

I thought about water I thought about the roads late at night I thought about drinking I started to hope you were all right And I thought about calling But I was afraid you'd be asleep I thought about God as a shepherd Wandering the hills looking for lost sheep And I thought about Wild Rosemarie How that was who you used to be How the wilderness sprang up around us This dry desert heat And I thought about water I thought about honey How I used to call you by its name How you move so slow and sticky Down my throat and how dry I became I thought about the highways All tangled up like a ball of snakes And the poison back roads And what a long time it would take to find you Wild Rosemarie All cracked up on I-93 The choice was your own To strip flesh from the bone And become really free And I thought about water How it drowned us after all How we used to thirst for it to burst forth from the sky and start to fall And I just got scared That you were still out wandering tonight So here's this letter And I hope you made it back all right Love always.
