I was taken with a younger thing 

Known to me as Rosie Shy 

She had bells of brass to ring-a-ding 

And danced to please your eyes 

It seems like lovely Rosie Shy 

She shrank from my caress 

I think I'm dying from Rosie Shy 

Cause my heart can't get no rest 

No my heart can't get no rest 

And I can't find grace 

In the human face today. 

Reborn with a baby ear 

I'm singing with Rosie Shy 

Far away she looks so real 

But up close she looks so high 

I had a dream about Rosie Shy 

And my dream did come true 

And every step away from Rosie Shy 

That's a terrible thing to do 

A terrible thing to do 

And I can't find grace 

In the human face today. 

Sunny breakfast, in the Winter time 

Coffee with Rosie Shy 

To play or not was on her mind 

But to love was in her eyes 

And where was I with Rosie Shy 

And was I ever on her mind 

And if I can't have my Rosie Shy 

Then I'd choose to remain blind 

Yes, I'd choose to remain blind 

And refuse to find grace 

In the human face today. 

Is there such a thing as all the time 

Even when it's Rosie Shy? 

And even lyrics that cannot rhyme 

They often do apply 

I wish the visions of Rosie Shy 

Would come back like my dreams 

Well, maybe they just signify 

A talking, nothing thing 

A talking, nothing thing 

And I can't find grace 

In the human face today.
