lyrics

ROSEWOOD MAN
oh rosewood man, oh rosewood man
you've heard her heart, but what could you do?
oh rosewood man if you had arms
but grains aren't veins and wood isn't skin
oh rosewood man if you had feet
you'd ask your wildwood flower for a dance
but you've got neither arms nor legs
just a wildwood heart that yearns for her glance
the rosewood man prayed to the wind
he prayed to the wind to make him human
so he could dance with her through the night
in her honey gold dress 'til the morning light
but the wind denied his only wish,
„I can't make a man“ he said „of a piece of wood.
And you better understand yourself,
you're a wooden case and you'll be for good.“
oh, rosewood man what do you do?
stay away from the fire, you'll burn your neck
but the rosewood man says caught in pain
„if I can't bleed I shall burn“
the embers get greedy, the flames grow higher
soon he'll lie down where his brothers yet rest
the air in its strength feeds the red glowing beast
oh god have mercy on a lovers ache oh god
have mercy on....
oh rosewood man, my rosewood man
your wildwood flower has heard your heart
you're more than just a piece of wood
you're my muse and you'll be for good

now dance and sing with me trough the night
you'll be my man and I'll be your bride

about

Romie Germany

We're a harmony duo from Germany but we kinda feel Ireland should be our home.
We recorded our first full length album there which will be released in autumn 2020.
Our music was once described as "progressive-doom-jazz" and we can't say we don't like it! :D
But it would probably be described as New-Folk/Singer-Songwriter/Americana.
Hope to meet y'all soon on the road!
Love always,
J&P ... more
