lyrics

Hand in hand while the other weaves tight
Hand in hand most every night
Hand in hand like a poem or a song
Like the last few seconds of night before dawn

I miss you, Rosalyn
I miss your delicate touch I miss the sight of your skin

Hand in hand in the union hall
Hand in hand through the market stalls
Hand in hand hidden in folds of skirts
Fabric piled up on the pews in church

I miss you, Rosalyn
I miss your long eyelashes, how you never gave in

I miss you Rosalyn
I miss your delicate touch I miss the sight of your skin

Hand in hand till stitches slowed down
Hand in hand till they called me out
Hand in hand till I was out of work
On that Saturday in March, when you left this earth

I miss you Rosalind

(146 people died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, 123 of them were women. down with bosses, down with capitalism)
