letra de rosie - eli waltz & hannah wyatt

[verse 1: eli waltz & hannah wyatt]
all the ways from california
massachusetts too
we were upside down, rosie ran round
and i heard her sound the dinner bell
too late for talking, too old for thinking
too tired for blinking too bad
we ran out of wood so dark quiet could
find us through the fire cracks
she tried going with the wind, tried calling out to kin
tried strutting with her chin held high
the way that can’t be named is one in the same
with the dirty politician’s game, she cried

[chorus: eli waltz & hannah wyatt]
slippin’ out my grasp again
sun-beaten moon-seasoned hands
shake

[verse 2: eli waltz & hannah wyatt]
first hand ticked for the second
second tocked for an hour
onlooked the window flowers in time
as third raced for the second
the clock tower beckoned
and the window flowers kept on looking on
the sundial sought permission
from the unlikely woman
who was twirling out the door
to be wound just like the clock
every item in its spot
order well-earned and hard fought
[instrumental break]

[verse 3: eli waltz & hannah wyatt]
for she chirps by the hour
morning bird, night owl
musters all her power to sing
she’s the clock, don’t she know it
every pen-stroke, every moment
delivering or missing her lines
and the cats in the yard
meow for their ritual reward
as the clocky woman cracks the sill
i feel for her sins
and i relish in her grins
and the time it takes to embrace her again

[chorus: eli waltz & hannah wyatt]
slippin’ out my grasp again
sun-beaten moon-seasoned hands
shake
