Rosalie
WRITTEN BY: F.D. LEONE
In a cocktail lounge in Mobile
Just about closing time
Empty shot glass on her table
Rosalie shuts her eyes
Tully would always find her
Bring her home in the past
Rosalie looks around her
Guess he gave up at last
Anytime anyone loves her
Soon she’ll be gone
To the dim lights of a barroom
Where she feels she belongs
Mistrusting human kindness
She’d rather be alone
Telling herself she’s free
Rosalie, ah, Rosalie
She’d like to kick the habit
Always choosing to run
Since she was sixteen
It’s what she’s relied upon
There’s a devil lying to her
Whispering in her ear
She wants to ignore it, but
It’s the strongest voice she hears
Anytime anyone loves her …
