So you've come back for Jennifer? |
|
You know, she hides her face behind a veil, |
|
And i'm warnin' ya Frankie, leave on the next train, |
|
your Jennifer she just ain't the same. |
|
Hey quit waving that thing around! Oh come back! |
|
Come back; and give me a chance to explain. |
|
Your baby will never cry again. |
|
|
|
So don't try to reach out |
|
and don't let the ship's flag down. |
|
Point the figure-head at the storm |
|
and drive her hard upon. |
|
Don't stop and don't stop |
|
and don't let the veil drop. |
|
Another ship ready to sail - the rigging is tight |
|
tight like Jennifer's veil. |
|
|
|
She drew the curtain on her face |
|
ever since they came and burnt the old place down |
|
And why is she searching through the ashes? |
|
Why, only Jennifer knows that now. |
|
And the officer, without a word, |
|
left all his junk and just moved out. |
|
|
|
So don't try to reach out |
|
and don't let the ship's flag down. |
|
Point the figure-head at the glass |
|
smash! Smash, Into shards! |
|
Don't stop and don't touch |
|
and don't let the veil drop...behind Jennifer's veil |
|
|
|
Oh god Frankie is that really you?! |
|
Get back! Don't reach out! |
|
Get back, and get that lantern out of my room! |
|
|
|
And don't try to reach out |
|
and don't let the ship's flag down |
|
down, down over her, like a shroud |
|
and let her sail on the sea like a stone. |
|
Don't touch and don't touch |
|
and don't let the veil drop |
|
another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose |
|
...like Jennifer's veil... |
