Rosalind (2008), here recorded at the Temple Bar open mic session which the great Lee Davies used to run there. Good times. Linn joins Nigel on backing vocals on this one, and watch out for Tim Mayo's revolutionary camera-work. 

Rosalind

I can hear the same feeling, see the same sigh

As we mix up the moments, let the birds hit the sky

A djinn in the ether and a whirl in a wave

It’s a meeting in midstream of fortune and faith

Memories alter with distance and damage

You could call them an influence, you could call them all baggage

Life in a band gives me something to do

Even if it’s not mine now it’s not up to you Rosalind [first word of chorus]

Rosalind how can you come back to me

Now that I’ve promised another to be here

Forever and love her through hard times and wealth

The one that you wanted is now someone else, Rosalind

You've got to choose what fails you or fills you

It’s yours she said it might cure you or kill you

My life was so bland I gave no resistance

They kept me online they said I’d be free

Took decades to learn I was doing the right things

But for all the wrong reasons, bowing to the wrong king

They offered me nothing but smoke in a box

And asked me to thank them while I hammered the rocks

Rosalind how can you come back to me

Now that I’ve promised another to be here

Forever and love her through hard times and wealth

The one that you wanted is now someone else

I’m just sliding an incline, it’s as slow as you want

Hiding from time but there is only one

Joining the dots but each one takes a year

I hear the hush as the sand disappears

Rosalind how can you come back to me

Now that I’ve promised another to be here

Forever and love her through hard times and wealth

The one that you wanted is now someone else
