Passing  the corners we kissed  in the rain
Passing  the old rusted warning  signs
 What did they say?
 I think they said  run!
Passing  the roofs of excuses  we made
Passing  these open windows
 What made me turn away?
 How did I fight the flat  days and the static nights?
 
 Saint Rosa, she  flies!
She  flies with the swallows
 Saint Rosa, I feel
I  could  follow back to Capistrano
And  I will hold you tight
 Through the cold days and  the frozen nights
Passing  our enemies
Passing  our friends
Passing  the things we use to tell the difference between
 It’s subtle
And I  try to remember if  I was  ever lonely
If  I  was ever low? Hell,  hell  yes I was low
 How did I fight the flat  days and the static nights?
 Saint Rosa, she  flies!
She  flies with the swallows
 Saint Rosa, I feel
I  could  follow back to Capistrano
And  I will hold you tight
 Through the cold days and  the frozen nights
Passing  all the days  I switched to auto mode
Days  for which I’ve  nothing to show
 Passing all the days  I’m afraid I’ll forget
The  days only clear  for a second
 
 The days only clear  for a second
 
 The days only clear  for a second
 But I will hold you tight
 Through the cold days  and the frozen nights
When  it’s cold, cold, cold
/  End on
