Jennifer's Veil |
| So you’ve come back for Jennifer |
| You know, she hides her face behind a veil |
| I’m warning you Frankie, leave on the next train |
| Your Jennifer she just isn’t the same |
| Quit waving that thing about! |
| Come back! |
| Come back and give me a chance to explain |
| Your baby will never cry again. |
| So don’t try to reach out |
| And don’t let the ship’s flag down |
| Point the figure-head at the storm |
| And drive her hard upon |
| Don’t stop and don’t stop |
| And don’t let the veil drop |
| (Another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tight |
| Tight like Jennifer’s veil). |
| She drew the curtain on her face |
| Ever since they came and burnt the old place down |
| Why is she searching through the ashes? |
| Why, only Jennifer knows that now. |
| And the officer, without a word, |
| Left all his junk and just moved out. |
| So don’t try to reach out |
| And don’t let the ship’s flag down |
| Point the figure-head at the glass |
| Smash! |
| Smash! |
| into shards |
| Don’t stop and don’t touch! |
| And don’t let the veil drop… behind Jennifer’s veil |
| Oh God! |
| Frankie! |
| Is that really you! |
| Get back! |
| Don’t reach out! |
| Get back, and get that lantern out of my room! |
| Don’t try to reach out |
| And don’t let the ship’s flag down |
| Down, down over her, like a shroud |
| And let her sail on the sea like a stone. |
| Don’t touch and don’t touch |
| And don’t let the veil drop |
| Another ship ready to dock… the rigging comes loose… |
