Lyrics

They moved to an island when she was young
Sun shone all the summer, it was dark all winter long
Surrounded by water, mountains and trees
In the morning she could smell the ocean breeze
Lay me to rest out under the stars
Bury my bones where wild blueberries grow
Let my heart fly north with the geese in the spring
In the cold of winter, Rosemary Blooms.
On snowy nights she'd walk down to a quonset hut
To play an old piano that came around the Horn
The key tops were missing, some notes wouldn't play
But she could hear what that piano had to say
Lay me to rest out under the stars
Bury my bones where wild blueberries grow
Let my heart fly north with the geese in the spring
In the cold of winter, Rosemary Blooms
Wading in cold tide pools, all along the beach
Listening to the animals for what they have to teach
Picking berries in the woods, late on summer nights
Dreaming deep beneath the Northern Lights.
Lay me to rest out under the stars
Bury my bones where wild blueberries grow
Let my heart fly north with the geese in the spring
In the cold of winter, Rosemary Blooms.
