Rosemary

Do you remember when you walked with me
 Down the street into the square
 How the women selling rosemary
 Pressed the branches to your chest
 Promised luck and all the rest
 And put their fingers in your hair
 ♪
 I had met you just the day before
 Like an accident of fate
 In the window there behind your door
 How I wanted to break in
 To that room beneath your skin
 But all that would have to wait
 In the Carmen of the Martyrs
 With the statues in the courtyard
 Whose heads and hands were taken
 In the burden of the sun
 I had come to meet you
 With a question in my footsteps
 I was going up the hillside
 And the journey just begun
 ♪
 My sister says she never dreams at night
 There are days when I know why
 Those possibilities within her sight
 With no way of coming true
 Some things just don't get through
 Into this world, although they try
 In the Carmen of the Martyr
 With the statues in the courtyard
 Whose heads and hands were taken
 In the burden of the sun
 I had come to meet you
 With a question in my footsteps
 I was going up the hillside
 And the journey just begun
 All I know of you
 Is in my memory
 All I ask is you
 Remember me
