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 |
