It's all coming back to me now.
But try as I have to keep,
The taste of you off of my tongue;
Your face from my fitful sleep.

An' I wait and hope against hope like before.
An' I wait an' hope that I won't anymore.

An' this won't stop till I do.
Until I learn to kill the thought,
Of everything I could have said:
Of everything I wished I'd not.

An' I wait, hope against hope like before.
An' I wait, hope that I won't anymore.

Show rises up from the street,
An' a crowd rises up to it's feet.
I followed blind after you:
I might know better if I'd ever wanted to.

Instrumental Break.

The painting here is still not dry,
An' I can smell it from the door.
It covers every mark you made:
The countin' days are keepin' score.

An' I wait, hope against hope like before.
An' I wait, an' hope that I won't anymore.

An' I wait, hope against hope like before.
An' I wait, an' hope that I won't anymore.

I really wish RP would list the song writer when they post the lyrics. 




ME TOO!  I think that would be a fascinating feature.

Nice one.  Liked her album of daddy's country songs ("The List") a lot.

The quote you desccribe is generally attributed to Carlene Carter (a cousin, I believe).  Legend has moved it to Roseanne's credit.

 
Half sister. Carlene's father was Carl Smith, June's first husband.
 
Except for most of King's Record Shop, I think Roseanne's material is way too slickly produced.

Their voices are similar, but Rosanne's inflections and phrasing don't have as much 'Thorazine' sound to them.

Wow, was just going to comment on how much I loved the Cowboy Junkies and how I had missed this song, and then read the comment of the last entry.

Her voice on this track reminds me A LOT of Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies.  Would be nice to hear them sing a duet together!

Roseanne Cash has always been the rebel child - she scandalized the country music realm by stating that she "put the 'cunt' back in country." While I cringe at her comment, she was definitely a pioneer in the exploration of country and rock fusion.

I just sorta love her.

Nice song but a quite awful cover art. The could slide Fabio in behind her and have a perfect Harlequin Romance cover.
 

LOL!!!

From what little I know, Roseanne Cash is a believer in karma and reincarnation - she did a wonderful song called "The Wheel" which was released in 1993 on her album of the same name. Lots of very introspective and hard-hitting songs on that work. I had it on cassette, and (goes into broken-record-mode...) it disappeared in one of several moves from place to place. I WILL be getting it on CD, because it's worth it.

She´s great, saw her in Malmö at KB a month ago. Great show together with her husband.

Well, this got my attention away from what I'm supposed to be doing.  I'll have to investigate further.
Though as a fair weather sailor, the cover is a bit disturbing!!!

Excellent. Thanks for playing Rosanne Cash and this genre.

She and Mary Chapin Carpenter are my favorite of this kind of crossover country/folk tinged pop rock genre, both good songwriters, fine singers with excellent bands. I have most of Chapin's CD's and some of Roseanne's and none have disappointed me, quality stuff every time out. I do love this type of music, and hope to hear more artists of this kind if you have them in the vault.

Nice. I've liked Rosanne ever since her very first album back in the 80s.
