lyrics

As she spied the Rosedale camellias
She knew that she was home
Where all that remained of the house where she was raised
Was a gate of iron and stone
She sat and contemplated
As the sun fought the clouds for the plain
How the day had begun, to the chapel they did run
To shelter from the rain
She drank through the ceremony till everything was blue
While her best friend married the one she loved there was not a soul who knew
Till later that night at the party
She staggered to where he stood alone
Unburdened and carefree, she was drowning in a sea
In that first and last moment of their own

If you could have me would you want me
We could run away tonight
If you could have me would you want me
And she reached out and held him tight

The sign said to the Cemetery but he couldn’t turn the wheel
She’d run over the edge of the clapped-out bridge
As they played the Rosedale Reel
Are we disguised when drinking or sober
Is there ever such stinging as regret
As he stood in her embrace he showed his honest face
As the eyes of his bride he met

If you could have me would you want me
We could run away tonight
If you could have me would you want me
And she reached out and held him tight

suzannah espie Melbourne, Australia

Espie’s sound is an intoxicating mix of country, folk, blues, and soul. A gentle, sweet trill that can
move grown men to tears one moment, or an Aretha-esque hellcat belt that can raise the roof the next; however she
sings it though, it’s still unmistakeably Suzannah Espie

"There aren't too many songwriters able to match meaning with melody as well as Suzannah Espie"
