Marlene lyrics

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 say, she seemed to say

˜You're the only'

And then we danced like two snowflakes

In the falling wind

In the wind

And do me a favour god

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 they do not give a damn, they do not give a damn That I loved you

I don't know why

But once you've seen the sky

You think you know all birds are lovely

But there's snow on the ground

In Woodstock 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're free

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 say, she seemed to say

˜You're the only'

And then we danced like two snowflakes

In the falling wind

In the wind

And do me a favour god

Won't you let Marlene come in

And do me a favour god

Won't you let Marlene come in
