| Jackson C. Frank – Marlene Lyrics | 14 years ago |

There are several errors in the lyrics posted I believe the lyrics are as follows The ghost of her hair, floats over there and her smile, her smile it seems so lonely She gave me her hand, as they struck up a band and she seemed to say, seemed to say "your the only" And we danced like two snowflakes, in the falling wind, in the wind well do me a favour god...wont you let Marlene come in? The gymnasium floor, the brassbound door, the jungle bird the jungle bird that she showed me Her love was so clean, to tell the truth Marlene, the sound of the tambourine still haunts me We were so young then, now im old i know, iknow, oh i know Hell had you right then, but i made Marlene let go My friends in the bars,hell, they only see the scars and they do not give a damn, 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 theres snow on the ground, in Woodstock tonight, its twenty two years dear, since i saw the light The world did explode, in such a high powered glow to run, to run to run, was all they left me Up heres theres breeze, high in the clouds were free to fly, to fly away was the lesson Though the fire burned her life out, and left me little more I am a crippled singer, and it evens up the score. Repeat first verse. the song is clearly about the fire that tragically took the lives of 15 of his school friends, in particular that of Marlene Du Pont, a classmate and girlfriend of sorts. The references to "your tambourine still haunts me" relates to the music room to which the tragedy occurred. The "twenty two years dear" part is the time elapsedfrom fire to song. The rest is, i think, fairly self explanatory. The song speaks of such loss and guilt that this could have been a way of Jackson trying to jettison these overwhelming emotions. the song was recorded in 1976, along with 8 other fantastic songs, and was intended for his second album. |
