Rosaleen
Rosaleen, have you seen your daughter yesterday?
Rose, I heard that little girl was worried and afraid
Suffering, she spoke the words "I do not want to die"
And yet you sent her walking, soft into the night
I have not seen her since, but at night I hear her sing
Rosie, I try to love you but you won't love me
I hear her call her mother's name, in a fevered dream
Rosie, I try to love you, but you will not love me
Rosaleen who was that man that sat and talked all night?
His gold cross glistened in your room against his robe of white
And then this morning walking, with your youngest son
Hand in hand down to the woods, yet only he returned
That boy would run and smile and climb the orchard tree
Rosie, I try to love you but you won't love me
I passed him weeping low now, his head between his knees
Rosie, I try to love you but you will not love me
Rosaleen, when I speak do you hear me at all?
Or did I make a god of you while I was all alone?
Alone, as Connolly alone, propped up in a chair
Bullets in his chest for you and no Roisin to care
If he were here, if he could could see
Rosie, I tried to love you but you will not love me
I see him take you by the hand and I hear him softly weep
Rosie, I tried to love you but you will not love me
Rose, I heard that little girl was worried and afraid
Suffering, she spoke the words "I do not want to die"
And yet you sent her walking, soft into the night
I have not seen her since, but at night I hear her sing
Rosie, I try to love you but you won't love me
I hear her call her mother's name, in a fevered dream
Rosie, I try to love you, but you will not love me
Rosaleen who was that man that sat and talked all night?
His gold cross glistened in your room against his robe of white
And then this morning walking, with your youngest son
Hand in hand down to the woods, yet only he returned
That boy would run and smile and climb the orchard tree
Rosie, I try to love you but you won't love me
I passed him weeping low now, his head between his knees
Rosie, I try to love you but you will not love me
Rosaleen, when I speak do you hear me at all?
Or did I make a god of you while I was all alone?
Alone, as Connolly alone, propped up in a chair
Bullets in his chest for you and no Roisin to care
If he were here, if he could could see
Rosie, I tried to love you but you will not love me
I see him take you by the hand and I hear him softly weep
Rosie, I tried to love you but you will not love me
