Rosetta
Where ve you been so long?
Rosetta
Ever since you been gone
Scenes come flashing back to me
Burned into my memory
Rosetta
Where you been so long?

Rosetta
The Sun s low in the sky
Rosetta
Now and then I wonder why
Because I know I ll never know
How I ever let you go
Rosetta
The Sun s low in the sky

Every time I remember when
We held each other close and then
We could feel the planet spin
We could always stop the clock
We could always crack the lock
We could always reel and rock
Rosetta

Rosetta
It s been a long, long road
Rosetta
Without speaking in code
Since you left for another coast
I ve been haunted by your ghost
Rosetta
It s been a long, hard road

Rosetta
I knew the time would come
Rosetta
As I felt the hours thrum
I suspected
Come what may
You d be back again someday
Rosetta
I knew the time would come

Every time I remember when
We held each other close and then
We could feel the planet spin
We could always stop the clock
We could always crack the lock
We could always reel and rock

Rosetta
Now that you are here
Rosetta
Don t ever disappear
If you desire, I ll always stay
Till the dying of the day
Rosetta
Now that you are here
Rosetta
