Rose Darling

Snake Mary's gone to bed
All our steaming sounds of love
Cannot disturb her in her night

Or raise her sleeping head
All I ask of you
No one sees and no one knows

Snake Mary dreams along
I would guess she's in Detroit
With lots of money in the bank

Although I could be wrong
You must know it's right
The spoor is on the wind tonight
You won't feel it till it grows

[Chorus]
Rose darling my friend
With only you and what I've found
We'll wear the weary hours down

The clock is close at hand
All my empty words of love
Can never screen the flash I feel

Or make you understand
Honey can't you see
I know it's real it's got to be
Why not chase it where it goes

[Chorus]
