Steely Dan - Rose Darling lyrics

rate me

Rose darling come to me

Snake Mary's gone to bed

All our steaming sounds of love

Cannot disturb her in her night

Or raise her sleeping head

All I ask of you

Is make my wildest dreams come true

No one sees and no one knows

Rose darling come to me

Snake Mary dreams along

I would guess she's in Detroit

With lots of money in the bank

Although I could be wrong

You must know it's right

The spore is on the wind tonight

You won't feel it till it grows

CHORUS:

Rose darling my friend

With only you and what I've found

We'll wear the weary hours down

Rose darling come to me

The clock is close at hand

All my empty words of love

Can never screen the flash I feel

Or make you understand

Honey can't you see

I know it's real it's got to be

Why not chase it where it goes

CHORUS
