Marliese Songtext
von 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
When I came through 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
Dragged me to my knees
Oh Marliese
You never really thought
That I'd ever leave you in peace


There's no use crying out
′Cause 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 looked so pleased
You′re not so happy now
It's your turn
To be afraid

Oh Marliese
The waiting almost
Dragged me to my knees
Oh Marliese
You never really thought
That I′d ever leave you in peace
Oh Marliese
Marliese
Marliese
Oh-oh-oh
Marliese

Oh Marliese
The waiting almost
Dragged me to my knees
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Marliese
You never really thought
That I'd ever leave you in peace
Marliese


So where′s the smooth
Composure of the movie star
You must have played
This many times before
Do I see tears
Surely that's not true
Don't kid yourself
It′s not worth hurting you
But remember
When you try to sleep

Oh Marliese
The waiting almost
Dragged me to my knees
Oh Marliese
You never really thought
That I′d ever leave you in peace
Oh-oh Marliese
Oh Marliese
Oh-oh-oh Marliese
