Darling Girl Songtext
von Mandolin Orange

It′s a darling girl, my darling girl
With eyes as dark as night and a heart so true
But just so strong, set to live a darling life

As years roll by, she'll grow up fine
She′ll sing a silent song
But she'll find your piano
And she'll find her wings
She′ll sing all the days long

I′m waiting on a ghost, to show her loving arms
And sweet Marie, I can see
Your faint light shining down on me

Go call on her brother, and her sister too
Go call on all the town
Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown


Though it all came so fast
Ten years soon will pass, before there's room for three
My sister will grow, my mother will know
Soon there will be room for me

I′m waiting on a ghost
To show her loving arms
And sweet Marie, I can see
Your faint light shining down on me

Like an old toy top, spins and stops
Or a tag on the last waltz to end the ball
A long summers wait, will come winding down
She'll be buried in the fall

Now she sleeps with you, Marie
Bittersweet is this old world
But they tell me soon
My sister too will have a darling girl

I′m waiting on a ghost
To show her loving arms
And sweet Marie, I can see
Your faint light shining down on me
