Oh rosie come back to me, oh rosie don't go

I'm stuck in this factory and so far from home

Oh rosie be true to me, don't leave me alone

You promised you'd wait for me no matter how long

I travelled so far to search for this place

And get me a job and find some way to get back in the

race

Oh rosie don't go

No more than a year ago, I was out in the cold

I outlived my usefulness by getting too old

I tried all the friends I knew, I floated in space

Lost count of so many doors that slammed in my face

And you said to me bill, go reach for the sky

'Cos don't you know anything can happen if you only try

Oh rosie don't cry

And now it's all gone our hopes and our fears

And rosie I'm staring at your letter wet with my tears

Oh rosie don't go

Oh rosie come back to me oh rosie don't go

I'm stuck in this factory and so far from home
