Waits, Tom - Rosie Lyrics






Well I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

And the moon's all up, full and big, apricot tips in an indigo sky,
And I've been loving you, Rosie, since the day I was born
And I'll love you, Rosie 'til the day I die.
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

And I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

    15 people woke up at midnight to Tom Waits blowing his horn.

  4. D.... Q....

    Still waiting for you my sweet Rosita.. i'll love you til the end.. primal scream

    He may not pay many of his oldest songs much mind, but ones like this absolutely show me he had it, from the beginning. Beautiful Tom.

  6. M.... ....

    Marvellous! Poetic! A masterpiece!

  7. R.... T....

    Hey ,ROSIE is my name!!!!!!!! Werid!?

    7 people have no soul. They probably watch MTV and BuzzFeed.

    T.... T....

    And Fox News..

  9. J.... H....

    Now who in the flying fuck thumbs this down?!!

    7 assholes lost their faith in humanity ... not me.

    The piano has been drinking ... not me.

  10. w.... ....

    Well I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
    Nobody's up except the moon and me,
    And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
    All that you left me was a melody

    Rosie, why do you evade?
    Rosie, how can I persuade?
    Rosie

    And the moon's all up, full and big,
    Apricot tips in an indigo sky,
    And I've been loving you, Rosie,
    Since the day I was born
    And I'll love you, Rosie, 'till the day I die

    Rosie, why do you evade?
    Rosie, how can I persuade?
    Rosie

    Rosie, why do you evade?
    Rosie, how can I persuade?

    And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
    All that you left me was a melody

    Rosie, why do you evade?
    Rosie, how can I persuade?
    Rosie

    死ぬほど好き

  12. k.... p....

    I suffer from depression. This song makes me calm.

    k.... p....

    kawaguchi phoenix this whole album is like a big calm breath when my anxiety kicks off.

  13. c.... i....

    and I've been loving you parker since the day I turned 4 and I'll be loving you parker forevermore .

  14. J.... G....

    This song is an amazing, beautiful Ballad.

  15. M.... R....

    Great song. Willie Nelson would kill with a cover of it.

    M.... R....

    god he just would, wouldn't he!

    M.... R....

    Listen to the version of it that The Beat Farmers did. It's really good.

  16. S.... H....

    ...and the moon's all up, full and big, apricot tipped in an indigo sky...Whew, he is some kind of poet!  He was only about 20 when he wrote the songs for this album.  Amazing talent.

  17. G.... M....

    Aw, Christ.  Makes me tear up every goddamn time.

  18. M.... ....

    This isn't exactly what you were looking for, but close. Here he's redoing his song Ol' 55 with a gravely voice; he sounds like he did on Mule Variations.

  19. M.... S....

    Weird. I thought it's " lazy old talker on the midnight screen".

    M.... S....

    Nice mondegreen.

  20. P.... O....

    I always thought it was "Less of your talkin' on a midnight breeze". Oh well.

  21. m.... ....

    Lost the love of my life, her name was Rosie.
    So here I am, just me, whiskey, and Tom Waits. All night long...thank you sir.

    m.... ....

    are you still doing this after five years?

    m.... ....

    Yeah, how are you doing now?

    m.... ....

    Same name, same story sir. Mine was 25 years ago..

  22. L.... Q....

    One person is stupid.

    L.... Q....

    now five are...

  23. S.... W....

    Great song

  24. m.... ....

    Well I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn;Nobody's up except the moon and me,
    And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree-All that you left me was a melody.
    Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie,How can I persuade? Rosie

    And the moon's all up, full and big,Apricot tips in an indigo sky,
    And I've been loving you, Rosie,Since the day I was born
    And I'll love you, Rosie 'til the day I die.Rosie,Why do you evade? Rosie,
    How can I persuade? Rosie - Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie,
    How can I persuade?

  25. m.... t....

    gotto have been an accidental dislike.

  26. g.... ....

    Isn't it amazing? My daughter Ruby (Ruby's Arms) used to go completely silent when we played grapefruit moon. :) She is now 6 yrs old and enjoys Tom Waits any time of day anywhere.

  27. J.... P....

    Always make time for Tom

  28. b.... ....
