Marlene (Bonus Track)

The ghost of her hair floats over there

And the smile, the smile, it seemed 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 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
