Marcie |
| Marcie in a coat of flowers |
| Steps inside a candy store |
| Reds are sweet and greens are sour |
| Still no letter at her door |
| So she’ll wash her flower curtains |
| Hang them in the wind to dry |
| Dust her tables with his shirt and |
| Wave another day goodbye |
| Marcie’s faucet needs a plumber |
| Marcie’s sorrow needs a man |
| Red is autumn green is summer |
| Greens are turning and the sand |
| All along the ocean beaches |
| Stares up empty at the sky |
| Marcie buys a bag of peaches |
| Stops a postman passing by |
| And summer goes |
| Falls to the sidewalk like string and brown paper |
| Winter blows |
| Up from the river there’s no one to take her |
| To the sea |
| Marcie dresses warm its snowing |
| Takes a yellow cab uptown |
| Red is stop and green’s for going |
| Sees a show and rides back down |
| Down along the Hudson River |
| Past the shipyards in the cold |
| Still no letter’s been delivered |
| Still the winter days unfold |
| Like magazines |
| Fading in dusty grey attics and cellars |
| Make a dream |
| Dream back to summer and hear how |
| He tells her |
| Wait for me |
| Marcie leaves and doesn’t tell us |
| Where or why she moved away |
| Red is angry green is jealous |
| That was all she had to say |
| Someone thought they saw her Sunday |
| Window shopping in the rain |
| Someone heard she bought a one-way ticket |
| And went west again |
