Testo Marlene - Jackson C. Frank
Testo della canzone Marlene (Jackson C. Frank), tratta dall'album Blues Run the Game
Marlene, take two
The ghost of her 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
Why won't you let Marlene come in?
The gymnasium floor, the brass-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 haunts 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 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?
And do me a favor God
Won't you let Marlene come in?
