Rosie

Rosie left the backdoor open yesterday

She didn't even leave a note

Before she took the train

The neighbors said they saw a girl crying in the streets

Rosie left a trail of tears for everyone to see

I'm sorry, little Rose

We should've helped you long ago

Should've listened when you said

You felt like you didn't belong

Now mother has been staring all night at the kitchen floor

And father hasn't said a word

Since you have been gone

Sweet Rose

When do you get back home?

You left your footprints on our lawn

Left your footprints on our soul

Sweet Rose

You didn't have to go away

Oh, your loneliness had made you blind

To see who wanted you to stay

And we just hope you find some answers on the road

And if you do, we hope one day you'll let us know

And we hope that your journey is going well

And that you finally find some company

In yourself
