Rosanna - Audiotree Live Version

The dandelion got undressed
before I could make a wish
We get naked and we don't know why

The waterfall, she gets no rest
I poured all the love I had
To give, not a single drop of which to cry

The Preacher told me I'd be blessed
To go on and then go live
In the countryside
When I saw Rosanna's head
I regretted all the innocence she will lose the day I die

Ohhh, honey I don't know
With all the beauty lost
If love is worth it
Hold whoever you can close
Every hand you hold you'll have to forfeit

The wind's still blowing through the trees
In the neighbourhood we scraped our knees
The blood of brotherhood dried on the wall

We walked ten miles on the beach
Cigarette stains, silhouette
It dreams, crumbling like a sandcastle

The Preacher begged us not to grieve
Said God is watching everything
At the funeral

I did my damndest to believe
My lovely Joseph left so suddenly
For any reason at all

Your spin leads, and lives long
Every time I get to sing this song
It grows another flower on your grave

I still forget that you are gone
I fall asleep with the TV on
Silence always seems to show your face

God said son you can't pool on
Your crooked sense of what is right or wrong
Maybe he's in a better place

Broken nest can make you strong
Brokenness is not where you belong
In all your lonely days

And ohhh, honey now I know
With all the beauty lost
That love is worth it
Hold whoever you can close
Though every hand you hold you'll have to forfeit

Honey you're the reason love is worth it
