There's a sense of longing in me
As I read Rosemary's letter
Her writing's honest
Can't forget the years she's lost
In isolation
She talks about her love
And as I read
"I'll die alone"
I know she's aching
There's a certain detail seen here
The pen must have slipped to the side
And left a stain
Next to his name
She knows he's gone
And isolation
Is all that will remain
"The wound in me is pouring out to rest
on a lover's shore"

version 2
Tuning: EADGBe
Such a wonderfully sad song. Transposed for playing in standard tuning.
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it as the d-tuning, but saves you from
re-tuning that precious acoustic guitar of yours just for playing 1 tune.
This will be the equivalent of 1 step up from the original song off the album.
