Marlene (Reissue Bonus Track)

(앨범: Jackson C. Frank - 1965)

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 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 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
