Wild Rosemarie

I thought about water
 I thought about the roads late at night
 I thought about drinking
 I started to hope you were all right
 And I thought about calling
 But I was afraid you'd be asleep
 I thought about God as a shepherd
 Wandering the hills looking for lost sheep
 And I thought about Wild Rosemarie
 How that was who you used to be
 How the wilderness sprang up around us
 This dry desert heat
 And I thought about water
 ♪
 I thought about honey
 How I used to call you by its name
 How you move so slow and sticky
 Down my throat and how dry I became
 I thought about the highways
 All tangled up like a ball of snakes
 And the poison backroads
 And what a long time it would take to find you
 Wild Rosemarie
 All cracked up on I-93
 The choice was your own
 To strip flesh from the bone
 And become really free
 And I thought about water
 How it drowned us after all
 How we used to thirst for it
 To burst forth from the sky and start to fall
 And I just got scared
 That you were still out wandering tonight
 So here's this letter
 And I hope you made it back all right
 Love always.
