Marianne Lyrics

You worked that summer in an ice cream stand
I'd give dune buggy tours through the sawgrass sand
I could hardly wait, to take my breaks and talk to you

Park on the bluff overlooking the sea
Share my pipe and you�d kiss my cheek
You said �farm boy won�t you take me far from here�

I'd say �Marianne, Marianne
You know I want you so bad
But I just can't leave
This coastal town sand
But I'll always be right here when you come back
Oh my sweet, Marianne�

Even as kids when we'd ride our bikes
Even back then I'd watch your eyes
You were never quite satisfied with the view

I was like a boy there holding his kite
I loved your colors and seeing you fly
But I knew there'd come a day I�d have to let go of you

I'd say �Marianne, Marianne
You know I want you so bad
But I just can't leave
This coastal town sand
But I'll always be right here when you come back
Oh my sweet, Marianne�

I'm not saying I don't go crazy
Knowing you're not here
I'll probably fight again tonight
Wake up strung out �neath the pier

Sometimes when I go driving
I see you walking on the sand
Oh my sweet Marianne

I'd say �Marianne, Marianne
You know I want you so bad
But I just can't leave
This coastal town sand
But I'll always be right here when you come back
Oh my sweet, Marianne
Oh my sweet, Marianne�

Just last night I met a cool girl
Up from the city so I took her for a whirl
She was lovely, oh so lovely, but she wasn't you

But I kept your promise and I held her hand
We jumped in the ocean and away we swam
And for the first time I remember I didn't think of you
