Marina

Marina

Half a mural on her wall
Swirling sunsets, metallic stars
And she gets home late, just another night
Words stream out above streetlights

I picture her far-off stare
She could have gone anywhere
Instead she’s bouncing off all the satellites
Some things never will die
Marina

Oh my the song comes slow
For a face I did not know
For some words now etched in stone and in my mind
Oh my I must confess
I hate to see the light like this
The opposite of loneliness is where I am
Oh Marina, why’d you have to go
Why’d you have to go

Amber hair in a photograph
She’s trying hard not to laugh
I woke up today feeling so damn young
Free to go where the muse may run
Marina

Oh my the song comes slow
For a face I did not know
For some words now etched in stone and in my mind
Oh my I must confess
I hate to see the light like this
The opposite of loneliness is where I am
Oh Marina

Thanks for passing through my friend
I swear I’ll always look ahead
It’s all that matters in the end

CHORUS
