ROSLYN |
(J. Salway – 1988 - © Interrossitor)
Roslyn, I wonder where you are today
Roslyn, has slept the years away
Kindergarten romance, holding hands behind the shelter shed
Lunchtime in the playground, little wet kisses on my cheek
And after school we’d pretend to be in love
Children playing at the life they’re dreaming of
Roslyn, I wonder where you are today
Roslyn, how does it feel to have slept the years away?
Monday you said you hate me, I didn’t love you any less
Tuesday you said you loved me, when you let me lift up your dress
And after school we’d walk home hand in hand
Saying all the words neither one would understand
Roslyn, I wonder where you are today
Roslyn, how does it feel to have slept the years away?
Slept the years away, slept the years away
I can still see your tears, the day I moved away from you
Although I wanted to stay, at eight years old what could I do?
I didn’t know it was the last of you I’d seen
To find out much later, you were dead at just sixteen
Roslyn, I wonder where you are today
Roslyn, how does it feel to have slept the years away?
Slept the years away
Slept the years away
Slept the years away
