Rosa Lyrics - Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes

Rosa 

(J. Lyon/B. Bandiera) 

Out in the street guitars are playing 

Distant and soft like an old radio 

Inside the fan sends the curtains to sway 

The evening's come and, babe, I must go 

I came to this place lost and alone 

Found a love I've never felt before 

Now all that's left is this broken heart 

A Pinata spilled out on the floor 

And, hey, Rosa, come closer 

Ay ay ay I won't see you anymore 

But, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore

Man on the street, he beggin' me to come with 

I laughed at myself, but I went along 

Just for one look at the woman he offered 

Maybe she's something I can use in a song 

Oh, but he opened up the door to my heart 

Much to my shame and to my surprise 

Now, when I look back, I search for a way 

To cross the border, back into your eyes 

And, hey, Rosa, come closer 

Ay ay ay I won't see you anymore 

But, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore 

Out on the street the last light is fading 

While in this house, love dies bit by bit 

Children gone and the wife's slowly leaving 

Pull up a chair and at my window I sit 

I wonder if I'll ever get up the nerve 

Go back down south and find you again 

Break away from these sad suburban streets 

And let my real life begin whooa

And, hey, Rosa, come closer 

Ay ay ay I won't leave you anymore 

And, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore 

And, hey, Rosa, come closer 

Ay ay ay I won't leave you anymore 

And, hey, Rosa, it's you I adore 

It's you I adore 

Hey, Rosa, you know that sun is going on down 

Take a walk with me, darling 

Through this dusty border town 

Some lonesome dog is barking as we're moving down the street 

I fold you in my arms, you smell so sweet 

Oh, come on, Rosa, come on, baby 

Hey Rosa
