"Rosaline"
She’s sitting in the kitchen, and she feels just like she’s dying
All at once, she sees some angels, and they’re carrying a baby
And she knows that they are weeping, and they bow their heads around her
And they cry, cry, cry together
And they cry together
Why did you leave me, when we lost the baby?
Just when I needed you, just when I was broken
What did you tell yourself, to convince you you should go?
Don’t you know baby, I’ve always loved you
Don’t you know baby, I’d do anything for you
The night is so lonely, Lord please be with me
Can I give you all my sorrow? Please can you take it from me
I know that I am much too small to understand it all right now
If you walk beside me, I know I can make it
If you walk beside me, I think that I can take it
Somehow
She knows she’s in a dream, when the angels bring the baby
It’s a tiny girl with rosy cheeks, hazel eyes and silky hair
Don’t you know baby, I’ve always loved you
Don’t you know baby, I’d do anything for you
