I spent the night in O.P.P.
It was the saddest sight you ever did see
My sorry ol friends turned their backs on me
The crazy little girl who hadn't believed what she'd seen

My heart was full of pain and misery 
Those pigs they made a fool outta me
I banged and I screamed til my head started to bleed
I called out to God won't you come and save what you see

I sat hunched over in a wooden chair
Til they called my name and made me go in there
They took my money and my cigarettes
Then caught my mugshot and made me grin

I fell asleep in the ladies tank
Slumped right over on a cold cement bench
My head throbbing concussed and spinning
I awoke to spew out what was left of within me

My infected limbs were swelling and shivering
In the oversized jumpsuit left lying on the floor
My decimated body slipped into the sleeve
And away did I dissolve back into withdrawal

Til they gave me my one phone call
And to my mother did I bemoan
I don't have any money at all
Could you please spare me a loan

A few hours later I was returned my soul
And back to the streets did I slither and fall once again

I spent the night in O.P.P.

we stumble along
the warm sun sets upon us
good glory among us
of eternal love 

the moment was oybliqlique
lay God as my witness
you showed me the only
truth I had missed

you came down to find me
an angel from heaven
to help me to hold me
to show me the way

the shore it was closing
the sky growing dimmer
those great words you told me
rang true to my ears

I have fallen and crumbled
have you really found me
the one I have been seeking
and hopelessly need

as we ride along the tide
out into the seaside
there lies the rest of our life
until we meet again

we wrote to each other
those letters of lovers
our souls strung and woven
tethered at heart

no longer the longing
of death was upon me
let love in let truth in
the eternal light

when we're together
when we're afar Lord
our love is eternal
not death do we part

Eternal Love

Boot-Shaped Heart (alternate version)

It's a little bit cold, it's a little bit dark
At least that's how it feels inside my heart
I delve into the dark and I feel it coming back
How could the moon make me feel so all alone
I listen to the wind, it whispers in my ears,
Tells me something dear but I don't want to hear

So I drive into town for a ride
'Cos I couldn't tell what was wrong or right
If I feel right, then it must be wrong
'Cos everybody knows that's the way I get along

Getting lost in my easy sailing world
'Cos it's easy when you got nothing to compare
Couldn't stay there all too long
'Cos that'd be the end and it'd be real wrong
I couldn't tell you right, I'd be lying to myself 
I'm a little bit lost, I can't admit to myself
I'd rather be distraught, let the tides hold my woes
It always feels nice like a finger twirling curls

How does it feel to be so all alone?
I couldn't tell you if I had a chance in the world
If I feel right then it must be wrong
'Cos everybody knows that's the way I get along

It's still cold and dark tonight
And the wrong or right can't escape my mind

Cold and Dark

My love filled version of "Our Love is Over"

Our Love Is Forever

Rose O'Rourke's Album

Crazy Over You

Do I Do Right?

I'm a starving soul for the truth of it all
Yet I cannot be honest with myself
Irrational emotions guide my thoughtless notions
Still, my baby, he brings me flowers

My thoughts they drift to an empty abyss
Circling over and over to the chambering echo
When I awake from that place
Right in front of me
Stands my baby, arms full of flowers

Oh I wonder and I wonder
How can this be true?
Someone by my side
Through the gloom and the blues

He won't walk out on me
When I scream obscenities
Holds me closer, "hey baby, look at the flowers"

My Baby Brings Me Flowers

In dreams I see, just you and me
In the dewy grass, beside the sea
I lay, you lay, at the stars we gaze
In the darkness we remain
Until the end of our days

At night I lie awake from sleep
To listen to your heart beat

Your heart it beats, into my cheek
A sound so sweet, let it last eternally
I arise, you rise, stare into each other's eyes
How blessed am I, to have you by my side

In the morning sun I lie awake
To hear the sound your heart makes

Your heart it beats

Sacred Heartbeat

I am merely a vessel in which this essence has emerged in honor of the day of the dawning of this beauteous soul

Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years!
Keeping up the good fight
Forty years!
No mistakes in your life

Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years!
You've been chastised
Forty years!
But you never lost sight

Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years!
Of sleepless nights
Forty years!
Never giving into fright

Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years!
The slanderer persisted
Forty years!
Yet you resisted

Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years!
A heart stronger than none other
Forty years!
A true love lover!

Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years!
Loving you for life
Forty years!
Loving you for life

Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, loving you for life
Forty years, loving you for life
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years, forty days, forty nights
Forty years
