Marilyn

well we went swimming in the water
then we went driving in our wet clothes
you had a towel wrapped around your waist
and i was dreaming how to let go
you took me up so high
and then you taught me how to get down
we hit that water with a splash
then we went swimming from the waist down
now, baby i know
that there are reasons you say that love don’t exist
but baby you know
all you gotta do is turn around and give me a kiss
and you call me closer, marilyn
pluck my feathers one by one
i’ll be your friend, marilyn
but we were struck by a lover who went and married another
well hey, i want to say to you today
how many days have left us broken?
still we rejoice in things unspoken
i’ve got a lot of things on my mind
let’s just relax into the ocean
and then you call me closer, marilyn
well we were sitting on the edge
of second dam in the summer heat
all we needed was one slip
and all that love we dreamed
would never, ever, ever be
but you call me closer, marilyn
we make love that’s never been
i owe it all to marilyn
you keep me warm in the winter time
i touched your heart but you smoldered mine
bitter like some cheap red wine
sweet like drunken pumpkin pie
well hey, i just want to take you away
how many days have left us broken?
still we rejoice in things unspoken
i’ve got a lot of things on my mind
let’s just relax into the ocean
and then you call me closer, marilyn
