Rosendale
The Restaurant

There’s a little place on the corner of 25th and Vine
Where people pay for therapy in the form of food and wine
They spill out all of their secrets like no one’s listening
Secrets that they should’ve flushed down the kitchen sink

A couple quarrels on the left
‘Cause she won’t sign the prenup yet
A bitter breakup on the right
While the waitеr’s out of sight
In the back a picture perfеct man and his missus
Only ’til she tells him that the baby isn’t his

We gather at the restaurant
We come from far and wide
We gather at the restaurant
Where secrets cannot hide

We gather at the restaurant
Hello and welcome in
We gather at the restaurant
Pay penance for our sins

Overbearing laughter, guess they’ve had too much to drink
Promises of silence made but none of them will keep
Who would know our troubles, yes our troubles come to light
With a steak and broccolini, gravy on the side
A couple quarrels on the left
It’s been years since he paid the check
A bitter breakup on the right
It’s he said she said every night
In the back a baby screams as loud as lions roar
Daddy’s busy flirting with the man from next door

We gather at the restaurant
We come from far and wide
We gather at the restaurant
Where secrets cannot hide

We gather at the restaurant
Hello and welcome in
We gather at the restaurant
Pay penance for our sins

If you’re feeling down
When your mind’s been without rest
Stop on by the restaurant
And get it off your chest
There’s no need to be afraid
Of a wagging tongue or two
‘Cause everybody in the room
Is just like you
We gather at the restaurant
We come from far and wide
We gather at the restaurant
Where secrets cannot hide

We gather at the restaurant
Hello and welcome in
We gather at the restaurant
Pay penance for our sins

We gather at the restaurant
Where secrets cannot hide
We gather at the restaurant
Where secrets cannot hide
