[length: 04:39]
[00:14.92]I’m telling you these things that I tell no one else
[00:20.72]When I’m all alone, when I’m by myself
[00:28.65]Now, I believe you hear me, though I have no proof
[00:34.22]It’s what I feel inside that’s telling me the truth
[00:41.86]If I listen and I cannot hear the music
[00:48.50]If I try to swim the ocean and cannot reach the shore
[00:55.59]If the world is offered love but doesn’t use it
[01:02.05]Oh, Rosetta, what’s it for?
[01:10.38]May I call you sister when we talk this way?
[01:15.79]You make me feel as if there’s nothing I can’t say
[01:23.85]I know I’m not the first one you’ve brought comfort to
[01:29.64]And I’m not the last that will look to you
[01:37.04]If I wander and I cannot find the reason
[01:43.74]If I keep my heart wide open and cannot feel the sun
[01:50.74]And I’m not sure anymore what I believe in
[01:57.38]Oh, Rosetta, am I the only one?
[02:03.68]
[02:36.14]One day I’m walking down a lonely street
[02:41.71]New York City’s cold, there is no one to meet
[02:48.77]And at the corner of 57th and 7th Avenue
[02:55.12]I hear someone sing and I know it’s you
[03:02.62]If I’m still and I cannot hear the choirs
[03:09.44]If I try to please the many instead of just the very few
[03:16.46]Can you hear me through invisible wires?
[03:22.87]Oh, Rosetta, what should I do?
[03:26.89]If I listen and I cannot hear the music
[03:33.48]If I swim against the current and lose sight of the shore
[03:40.42]If the world is offered goodness but doesn’t use it
[03:47.12]Oh, Rosetta, what’s it for?
