Rosaline Lyrics - Cold Chisel - Cold Chisel

Rosaline 

I have loved you 

From the steeple to the streets of Rome 

And I know, Ah yes I know, what's goin' down 

They will come 

When it's early 

And breathe to me your last goodbye 

And our long, long love is finally drowned 

Teenage dreams 

Satin tresses 

Lie deserted all along the strand 

And the ferryman has poled his way off home 

Angels screamed 

In those evenings 

When I promised you my dying days 

And my heart hatched its treasons to run 

And Ah 

These latter days 

I'm fed on distant rumours 

But third-hand news is news enough 

For hopeless dream consumers

Quite at ease 

In an armchair 

Steaming coffee standing on my knee 

I can still hear you whispering when the fire sighs 

Rosaline 

How I have loved you 

With a careless kind of vanity 

As they turned you around 

And split us apart 

And like a fool 

I ran from the start 

And in the end they told much smoother lies
