Oh Rosetta Lyrics - The Things That We Are Made Of - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I'm telling you these things that I tell no one else 

when I'm all alone 

when I'm by myself 

and I believe you hear me though I have no proof 

it's what I feel inside 

that's telling me the truth 

If I listen and I cannot hear the music 

If I try to swim the ocean and cannot reach the shore 

If the world is offered love but doesn't use it 

Oh Rosetta, what's it for?

May I call you sister when we talk this way? 

you make me feel as if there's nothing I can't say 

I know I'm not the first one you've brought comfort to 

and I'm not the last that will look to you 

If I wander and I cannot find the reason 

If I keep my heart wide open and cannot feel the sun 

And I'm not sure anymore what I believe in 

Oh Rosetta, am I the only one? 

One day I am walking down a lonely street 

New York City's cold, there is no one to meet 

and at the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue 

I hear someone sing and I know it's you 

If I'm still and I cannot hear the choirs 

If I try to please the many instead of just the very few 

Can you hear me through invisible wires? 

Oh Rosetta, what should I do? 

Photos 

If I listen and I cannot hear the music 

If I swim against the current and lose sight of the shore 

If the world is offered goodness but doesn't use it 

Oh Rosetta, what's it for?
