Roslyn, I wonder where you are today

Roslyn, has slept the years away

 

Kindergarten romance, holding hands behind the shelter shed

Lunchtime in the playground, little wet kisses on my cheek

 

And after school we’d pretend to be in love

Children playing at the life they’re dreaming of

 

Roslyn, I wonder where you are today

Roslyn, how does it feel to have slept the years away?

  

Monday you said you hate me, I didn’t love you any less

Tuesday you said you loved me, when you let me lift up your dress

 

And after school we’d walk home hand in hand

Saying all the words neither one would understand

 

Roslyn, I wonder where you are today

Roslyn, how does it feel to have slept the years away?

Slept the years away, slept the years away

 

I can still see your tears, the day I moved away from you

Although I wanted to stay, at eight years old what could I do?

 

I didn’t know it was the last of you I’d seen

To find out much later, you were dead at just sixteen

 

Roslyn, I wonder where you are today

Roslyn, how does it feel to have slept the years away?

Slept the years away

Slept the years away

Slept the years away
