Marliese - John Watts

I told them I take photos for this magazine

They let me in to see you comb your hair

I watched for signs as I came throught that door

The anxious eyes that I’ve been waiting for

It’s no use hoping I’m a dream

Oh Marliese

The waiting almost brought me to my knees

Oh Marliese

You didn’t really think I’d leave you in peace

It’s no use crying out 'cos they can’t help you now

You’re forced to hear the words I have to say

I saw your face when I was taken down

You seemed so pleased, you’re not so happy now

It’s your turn to be afraid

So where’s the smooth composure of the movie star

You must have played this many times before

Do I see tears?

Well surely that’s not true

Don’t kid yourself, it’s not worth hurting you

Bur remember when you try to sleep
