He's been in that room for seven days
Kneeling beside that bed
Waiting for her to come back to him
The candle in the window, to guide her through the garden
Is growing dim
It's grown dim

We have taken up residence on the other side of the door
We're sitting on the floor, playing blackjack with the hours
Quilting these sympathy flowers
My, it's all cast a shadow
And these words no longer cary
This requiem for Rosemary
This requiem for Rosemary
This requiem for Rosemary

It grows quiet, it goes deeper than the night
Lost alone, waiting for the telephone
He is waiting for the telephone
And the candle in the window, it's to guide her through the garden

Growing dim she comes back, not to him
But still the music plays
They dance, and the music plays
But these words no longer carry
These words no longer carry
This requiem for Rosemary
This requiem for Rosemary
This requiem for Rosemary
This requiem for Rosemary

She's dancing around the moon, and he's dancing around the room
Dancing around the room
She's dancing around the moon, and he's dancing around the room
Dancing around the room
She's dancing around the moon, I am dancing around the room
I'm dancing around the room
Dancing
Dancing
She's dancing around the moon, and he's dancing around the room
We are dancing around the room

Let the music play
Let the music play
