lyrics

MARLENE

say goodnight marlene
say goodnight, goodbye
say goodnight marlene
home to bed marlene

i am not your father
i am not your brother
i am not your lover
no need to yell at me

the pain has taken you over
covering like a quilt
the pain has taken you over
the kind that drink can't beat

goodnight, goodnight, goodbye
i'll get you, a car, I'll buy
you have the saddest of eyes

goodnight, goodnight, marlene
three men have left you at sea
now you're stuck here soaking with me
home to bed marlene

say goodnight marlene
say goodnight, remember
I am just a stranger
i can never leave
