THE MARQUEE Lyrics
Under a blue and white beach umbrella
Siting pretty waiting on a fella
Who I’m fairly sure will be a no show
So I pack up my things and trudge home,
Clasping my clutch down the avenues I know
Every tramp casting every shadow
I don’t know why I’m singing this song with tears in my eyes
I’m sure you’ve got my number, suppose I’m saving my surprise
For when you call, this night won’t matter at all
Tell me baby, why’d you go and let me down again?
Swept under the rug acting just as if nothing has happened
And just because my heart can take it
Does not mean you should go out of your way to break it
At the gate I wait ‘neathe the marquee,
That brightly reads From Here To Eternity
Which is about how long I’ve been here waiting
It’s possible that you were asked to work late,
The subway stalled or you took down the wrong date
To a fault I tend to always have faith
Suppose I’ll head in and stare blankly at the movie-screen
And afterwards when I took myself out for ice cream is when I saw
You with someone else, that was the last straw
