Heart of Rosine
Echoes of Love and Loss: Heartfelt Melodies from Donna Ulisse
Lyrics
She remembers the first time she heard him
She recalls the initial instance when she encountered him
Drew her in like a bow cross a string
His allure was captivating, drawing her in like pulling a bow across a string
Telling his sorrowful story
He conveyed his tale of sadness
In ev'ry song he would sing
In every musical piece he performed
He could soar up over the mountain
He possessed the ability to ascend over the mountain
Cry through the tall, mournful pines
Expressing sorrow amidst the tall and mournful pine trees
As haunting as mist on a meadow
His presence was haunting, akin to mist on a meadow
As warm as a glass of red wine
His aura was as comforting as a glass of red wine
Now the moon will always be bluer
From now on, the moon will seem sadder
The grass will never be green
The world will appear less vibrant
When high and lonesome crossed over
When the emotionally resonant music ceased
Tears poured from the heart of Rosine
Resulting in Rosine's profound emotional outpouring
She loved that boy from the hillside
She deeply cared for the young man from the hillside
Though she knew he would leave her someday
Despite foreseeing his departure in the future
His voice belonged to the whole world
His voice was not just hers, but belonged to the world
And the roads that would take him away
As he ventured onto paths leading away from her
So the leaves fall every September
Each year, leaves fall in September
There on Jerusalem Ridge
Referencing a place, Jerusalem Ridge, where change is marked
And Kentucky will always remember
And the state of Kentucky will forever retain his musical legacy
Where the sound of his music still lives
Where the resonance of his music still endures
