| 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 |
