Rosemary Pockets (Live at the Skylark) Lyrics

Remnants of rosemary in my coat pocket

I forgot I put it there

Scrap pieces of paper stuck to my shoe

Carried away by the morning air

Complex connections and waiting for trains

It's colder than it should be in spring

Over your shoulder you see a marching band

Someone's celebrating something again

I could whisper I love you I love you I love you

Or I could scream it

I could say I need you I need you I need you

But I wouldn't mean it

I'm not as lonely as I told myself I was

Cold coffee left on your desk

You forgot you put it there

You go to sleep as I get undressed

Tucked away from the cold night air

Another midnight freeze in summer

All the flowers just fucking die

So we're still and sit with one another

Skipping stones to pass the time

August and May look the same

Torn violet petals in your hair

Weren't the leaves supposed to change?

The man with the picket sign's still standing there

I could whisper I love you I love you I love you

Or I could scream it

I could say I need you I need you I need you

But I wouldn't mean it

I'm not as lonely as I told myself I was

I'm not as lonely anymore
