Do you remember when 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 room beneath your 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 Martyr 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

Little Mary, was five years old Her parents left her, she was out in the cold Alone to live and find her way In this great world of heartache and pain Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled Tear-stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare Who could have left a child so rare? Rosemary your day will come He loved you so, he gave his only son Keep the faith in your soul Stay down on your knees I'm begging you, please Hold onto the beads in your heart A burning heart and tired eyes Howling winds for lullabies No one there to soothe her fright Nowhere to turn but the inward light Because life is for believing That your heart can turn to gold All you need is Christ to receive it There's eternal life for every soul (ohh yeah) Rosemary your day will come He loved you so he gave his only son Keep the faith in your soul Stay down on your knees I'm begging you, please Hold onto the beads in your heart (ohhh) Rosemary Rosemary He loves you He needs you He wants you So don't let him down, singing Rosemary your day will come He loved you so he gave his only son Keep the faith in your soul Stay down on your knees I'm begging you, please Hold onto the beads in your heart Oh-oh, oh oh Yeah yeah Rosemary, I get the right to know Singing, Rosemary No, no, no, no, no, no! Woooh-ohhhh yeah Rosemary Uhhh uhhh yeah Rosemary Come on now yeah Got to keep the faith yeah

She came without a farthing A babe without a name So much ado about nothing Is what she'd try to say So much ado, my lover So many games we played Through every fleeted Summer Through every precious day All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone, I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead and gone All dead All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still, I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again You know my little friend's All dead and gone Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But, please, you must forgive me I am old but still a child All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope, I breathe Of course, I don't believe You're dead and gone All dead and gone
