Rosalee Songtext
von Brian Wright

One, two, three

I′ve been a captain, a hunter and gatherer
A traveler and trapper of songs
A thief and a preacher, an angel, the reaper
A teacher of rights and of wrongs
A ghost and a fixture, a hope and a wish
Waving high on the mast of a dream
And I've been a soldier with stripes on my shoulders
And I′ve been a glass figurine

I have been thankfully tied to an anchor
A rope that could wrap around the earth
I've been a lover and I've been the other
And I′ve sown my seeds in the dirt
I′ve been the poison and I've been the noise
That could drown out an innocent scream
And I′ve been the laughter, the world's greatest actor
Stolen my share of the scene


Oh Rosalee, tell me, what do you want from me?
I wanna be anything that you need
Anything that you please

Your eyes that are closing, your ice on the road
Be your mansion on top of the hill

Your priest in the mission, the one who will listen
The grease in the squeakiest wheel
The wind that is howling, your face in the crowd
Be your favorite fool in the room
I′ll be your voice in the dark, your governor's pardon
Your garden forever in bloom

Be your favorite position, the hit man′s conviction
The pitcher's best whistling tune
Your favorite sweater, the break in the weather
You hoped would be getting here soon
I'll be the ground at your feet, your word on the street
Be your eyes and your ears and your knees

I′ll be your nosiest neighbor, your friendliest favor
Baby, I′ll be anything that you please


Oh Rosalee, tell me, what do you want from me?
I wanna be anything that you need
Anything that you please
Anything that you need

I'll be your box in the attic, your stereo static
Your storm coming over the ridge
I′ll be your dog in the fight, your warm summer night
I'll be the name at the top of your list
I′ll be your change in direction, your boldest confession
Gloves up at all times in the ring
I'll be the secret you hold that nobody knows
I′ll be the water that washes you clean

Oh Rosalee, tell me, what do you want from me?
I wanna be anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
Anything that you please
Anything that you need
Anything that you please
Anything that you need
Anything that you please
Anything that you need
Anything that you please
Anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
Anything that you please

Anything that you need
