Jackson C. Frank - Marlene lyrics

The ghost of her hair floats over there And the smile, the smile, it seemed so lonely She gave me her hand as they struck up the band And she seemed to say, she seemed to say ‘you're the only' And we danced like two snowflakes In the falling wind, in the wind And do me a favor God Won't you let Marlene come in The gymnasium floor, the bra**-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 dear, since I saw the light The world it explodes, as such a high powered load To run, to run, to run, was all they left me Up here there's breeze, high in the clouds we're free To fly, to fly away, was the lesson And though the fire had burned her life out, it left me little more I am a crippled singer, and it evens up the score The ghost of her hair floats over there And the smile, the smile it seems, 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 there we danced like two snowflakes In the falling wind, in the wind And do me a favor God, won't you let Marlene come in Do me a favor God, won't you let Marlene come in
