Rosemary from Black Orpheus by Radioprojecteur

There was this lady
Grey hair and wise.
She made a plan,
She knew it’s just one try.
All up the hill
And way down again.
She just kept walking on
A smile in her hand.

Oh Rosemary, a battle cry.
Dear Rosemary, one day we all die.
Oh Rosemary, you’ve seen it all
But today is not your time.

She had a cycle,
A rosty alley.
The wheels in shaby shape
But still turning ‘round.
May wish for better,
They didn’t reach far
But their world was big enough
To host us all.

Oh Rosemary, a battle cry.
Dear Rosemary, one day we all die.
Oh Rosemary, you’ve seen it all
Oh Rosemary, we’re bound to fall.

Her walk is over
She took an old chair.
She sat inside
And never moved again.
Outside the window
Her cycle moved on –
Rusty wheels are not
The end of the world.

Oh Rosemary, a battle cry.
Dear Rosemary, one day we all die.
Oh Rosemary, you’ve seen it all
Rosemary, you had your time.
