Marlene Songtext
von Jackson C. Frank

The ghost of her hair
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 hair
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
