CowboySlim - Walter And Rosalee
	lyrics
Walter And Rosalee His face has too much crumpled skin, In need of ironin' bad. His ramen-noodle posture Prob'ly shrunk him down a tad. Been told he has a good heart, But tales are often wrong. He cleans windshields at the stop light For the change we pass along. More cracks than pan-fried marbles Spread across her face. She searches through the trash bins For items others waste. Beneath her seven sweaters, She's only flesh and bone. She's destitute and homeless, But at least she's not alone. Walter and Rosalee, Always hand in hand. Twilight 'til daylight, Beneath the bridge's span He limps a bit, she's patient, The love shows in her eyes. And when the memories haunt her, He holds her as she cries. Rosalee's been into drugs, And into lots of jails. Twelve step programs, half-way houses, All of which have failed. Walter was a family man, Who dearly loved his wife. Her cancer ate up all their funds, Before it claimed her life. Not sure if they're a couple Or a real small support group They draw strength from each other As they stand in line for soup. They know they've something special, Granted to but a few... Love based on compassion, Two hearts faithful and true. Walter and Rosalee, Always hand in hand. Twilight 'til daylight, Beneath the bridge's span He limps a bit, she's patient, The love shows in her eyes. And when the memories haunt her, He holds her as she cries. 2004 Corky "Dawg" Bernard, BMI Music by CowboySlim, BMI
