Marianne - Dean Brody

She worked that summer in an ice cream stand

I’d give dun buggy tours through the sawgrass sand

I could hardly wait, to take my breaks and talk to you

Park on the bluff overlooking the sea

Share my pipe and you kiss my cheek

You said farm boy wont you take me far from here

I’d say Marianne, Marianne

You know I want you so bad

But I just can’t leave

This coastal town sand

But I’ll always be right here when you come back

Oh my sweet, Marianne

Even as kids when we’d ride our bikes

Even back then I’d watch your eyes

You were never quite satisfied with the view

I was like a boy there holding his kite

I loved your colors and seeing you fly

But I knew there’d come a day I have to let go of you

I’d say Marianne, Marianne

You know I want you so bad

But I just can’t leave

This coastal town sand

But I’ll always be right here when you come back

Oh my sweet, Marianne

I’m not saying I don’t go crazy

Knowing you’re not here

I’ll probly fight again tonight

Wake up strung out neath the pier

Sometimes when I go driving

I see you walking on the sand

Oh my sweet Marianne

I’d say Marianne, Marianne

You know I want you so bad

But I just can’t leave

This coastal town sand

But I’ll always be right here when you come back

Oh my sweet, Marianne

Oh my sweet, Marianne

Just last night I met a cool girl

Up from the city so I took her for a whirl

She was lovely, oh so lovely, but she wasn’t you

But I kept your promise and I held her hand

We jumped in the ocean and away we swam

And for the first time I rememeber I didn’t think of you
