Ezra Furman and the Harpoons

Wild Rosemarie
I thought about waterI thought about the roads late at nightI thought about drinkingI started to hope you were all rightAnd I thought about callingBut I was afraid you'd be asleepI thought about God as a shepherdWandering the hills looking for lost sheepAnd I thought about Wild Rosemarie How that was who you used to beHow the wilderness sprang up around usThis dry desert heatAnd I thought about waterI thought about honeyHow I used to call you by its nameHow you move so slow and stickyDown my throat and how dry I becameI thought about the highwaysAll tangled up like a ball of snakesAnd the poison backroads And what a long time it would take to find youSongtexteWild RosemarieAll cracked up on I-93The choice was your ownTo strip flesh from the boneAnd become really freeAnd I thought about waterHow it drowned us after all How we used to thirst for itto burst forth from the sky and start to fallAnd I just got scaredThat you were still out wandering tonightSo here's this letterAnd I hope you made it back all rightLove always.
