Bill’s Song

Oh Rosie come back to me, oh Rosie don’t go
I’m stuck in this factory and so far from home

Oh Rosie be true to me, don’t leave me alone
You promised you’d wait for me no matter how long

I traveled so far to search for this place
And get me a job and find some way to get back in the race
Oh Rosie don’t go

No more than a year ago, I was out in the cold
I outlived my usefulness by getting too old
I tried all the friends I knew, I floated in space
Lost count of so many doors that slammed in my face

And you said to me bill, go reach for the sky
‘Cause don’t you know anything can happen if you only try
Oh Rosie don’t cry

And now it’s all gone our hopes and our fears
And Rosie I’m staring at your letter wet with my tears
Oh Rosie don’t go

Oh Rosie come back to me oh Rosie don’t go
I’m stuck in this factory and so far from home
