Rosaline II from Love Meditations by John King Cave

Shadows fall
Across the leaves
But I don’t mind
It’s only make believe

Seasons change
And people leave
But it’s alright
I’m light as the breeze

I’ve been skipping rocks across the river
Quarter of a century
And I’m staring out across the water
Rolling into the sea
Waitin' on my Rosaline

Desolation’s everywhere
But I don’t care
It’s really only life

Beauty hides
In misery’s lair
I hear her there
singing every night

Love is looking for herself in everyone
and everything she sees
So I’m holding out and holding on
To keep you in my summer dreams
Waitin' on my Rosaline
