Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem |
My mother loved it so she said |
Sad eyed pearl and drop lips |
Glancing pierce through writer man |
Spoke hushed and frailing hips |
Her old eyes skim in creasing lids |
A tear falls as she describes |
Approaching death with a yearning heart |
With pride and no despise |
Hot tears flow as she recounts |
Her favourite worded token |
Forgive me please for hurting so Don’t go away heartbroken no Don’t go away heartbroken no Just wise owl tones no velvet lies |
Crush her velvet call |
Oh Marlene suffer all the fools |
Who write you on the wall |
And hold your tongue about your life |
Or dead hands will change the plot |
Will make your loving sound like snakes |
Like you were never hot |
Hot tears flow as she recounts |
Her favourite worded token |
Forgive me please for hurting so My mother loved it so she said |
Sad eyed pearl and drop lips yeag |
Glancing pierce through writer man |
Spoke hushed and frailing lips yeah |
Old eyes skim in creasing lids |
A tear falls as she describes |
Approaching death with a yearning heart |
With pride and no despise |
Hot tears flow as she recounts |
Her favourite worded token |
Forgive me please for hurting so |
