the rest of the lyrics:
She gave me her hand
As I struck up the band
And she seemed to sigh, she seemed to sigh
You're the only
 
And then we danced like two snowflakes
In the fallen wind
In the wind
And in
Won't you let Marlene come in
 
The gymnasium floor
The price bound door
The jungle bird the jungle bird
That you showed me
Her love was so clean
To tell the truth Marlene
The sound of your tambourine still owns me
 
We were so young then
Now that I'm old I know, oh I know
I loved you right then
I would have made Marlene let go
 
My friends in the bars
Hell they only see the scars
And I do not give a damn, I do not give a damn That I loved you
I don't know why
But once you seen the sky
You think you know all birds are lovely
 
But this snow on the ground
It would start tonight
It's 22 years dead
Since I saw the light
 
The world it explodes
As such a high powered load
To run, to run, to run
Was all I left me
Appeared as breeze
High in the clouds we'll freeze
To fly, to fly away
Was the lesson
 
You know the fire it burned her life out
Left me little more
I am a crippled singer
And it evens up the score
 
The ghost of her
It floats over there
And the smile, the smile
It seems so lonely
She gave me her hand
As I struck up the band
And she seemed to sigh, she seemed to sigh
€˜You're the only
