Intro

Verse 1

 Well, the cars are leaving town

 The winter's moving in

 A tree has been torn down

 By an ill wind, an ill wind

 Oh, Rosie can you tell

 My age from where I sit?

 I'm younger than I look

 But old enough to know the half of it

Chorus

Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?

Rosie, Rosie, what you gonna do about it?

 You could still fly south

 Before they find you out

 Rosie

Verse 2

Well, you've got needles in your eyes

From all those glances that you stole

Any secret that's worth keeping

Will always burn a hole

Oh, I saw you over coffee

Four sugars and some cream

You were smiling quietly

Holding your face over the steam

Chorus

 And anyone who calls your bluff will learn

 That you don't need a match to get your fingers burned

Interlude

Verse 3

Well, it's a wild December night

And you have packed your bags and gone

And you haven't old a soul

Which plane that you got on

And you left behind your letters

Your hairbrush and your red shoes

You left behind your name and

A little boy who looks like you

Chorus

 Rosie
