💎NEIL DIAMOND ~ ROSEMARY'S WINE

NEIL DIAMOND CENTRAL WEBSITE - http://www.neildiamondcentral.com/ "A Serenade, a hymn of sorts, at most a small potion for the soul." - ND NOTE: Whilst for obvious reasons, I have chosen wines to be the focus; the subject matter of this song. I, in fact, believe that Neil wasn’t specifically referring to the spirit. I believe he was in fact, comparing this incredibly, beautiful, intoxicating woman, Rosemary, to fine wine. "So I drink the sweetness of her soul..." For such is the amazing gift of this musical genius that he is able to leave his songs open to a host of interpretations. A Gift. It would be an impossible task to create accurate images of what, in my opinion, Neil was in fact referring to... a wondrous woman. What else was I to do? ROSEMARY'S WINE 🍷 (1974 - Age: 33) NEIL DIAMOND Album: SERENADE And her eyes hurt the way they do Almost like they'd seen, Almost like they knew And her words, soft as they could be Tied me to her soul and wouldn't set me free And the night that held us in its arms It held us once again, But even then I knew this time That I would decline Sweet Rosemary's Wine Lately I, seem to be inclined More to being cold, less to being kind And I suppose that I've been less than true Being what I am, what was I to do So I drink The sweetness of her soul And drink it once again But even then I guess I'd known That I would decline Sweet Rosemary's wine
