Rosanna (Extended)

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 with which to cry
The preacher told me I'd be blessed,
"Pick a woman and go live
In the countryside"

But when I saw rosanna's head
I regretted all the innocence
She will lose the day I die

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

The wind still blowing through the trees
In the neighborhood we scraped our knees
The blood of brotherhood dried on the wall
We walked ten miles on the beach
Cigarette stained, silhouetted dreams
Crumbling like a sandcastle

The preacher begged us not to grieve
Said, "God is watching over everything"
At the funeral
I did my damndest to believe
Our lovely joseph left so suddenly
For any reason at all

Oh, honey I don't know
With all the beauty lost if love is worth it
Pull whoever you can close
Every hand you hold you'll have to forfeit
I don't really know if love is worth it

The years spin lazily long
Every time I get to sing this song
It grows another flower on your grave

I still forget that you are gone
Fall asleep with the tv on
Silence always seems to show your face
God said son you can't prolong
Your crooked sense of what is right and wrong

Maybe he is in a better place
Though brokenness can make you strong
Brokenness is not where you belong
For all your lonely days

Oh, honey now I know
With all the beauty lost that love is worth it
Pull whoever you can close
Though every hand you hold you'll have to forfeit
Honey you're the reason love is worth it
