Marlene

The ghost of her Floats over there And the smile, the smile It seems so lonely She gave me her hand As I struck up the band And she seemed to sigh, she seemed to sigh "You're the only" And then we danced like two snowflakes In the fallen wind In the wind And if I ever go Won't you let Marlene come in The gymnasium floor The price bound door The jungle bird the jungle bird That you showed me Her love was so clean To tell the truth Marlene The sound of your tambourine still owns me We were so young then Now that I'm old I know, oh I know I loved you right then I would have made Marlene let go My friends in the bars Hell they only see the scars And I do not give a damn, I do not give a damn That I loved you I don't know why But once you seen the sky You think you know all birds are lovely But this snow on the ground It would start tonight It's 22 years dead Since I saw the light The world it explodes As such a high powered load To run, to run, to run Was all I left me Appeared as breeze High in the clouds we'll freeze To fly, to fly away Was the lesson You know the fire it burned her life out Left me little more I am a crippled singer And it evens up the score The ghost of her It floats over there And the smile, the smile It seems so lonely She gave me her hand As I struck up the band And she seemed to sigh, she seemed to sigh "You're the only" And then we danced like two snowflakes In the fallen wind In the wind And if I ever go Won't you let Marlene come in And if I ever go Won't you let Marlene come in --- Marlene - Jackson C.
