Wilson Harwood - Marlena Lyrics

Marlena, you let me in one night
Silk skin glowing by the firelight
We melted like butter in the pan
You held me with experience in your hand

I saw you washing in the river
And singing softly as a whisper
Marlena, you move over railroad ties
When you left me I guess it was no surprise

Oh Marlena
All I taste is salty water
Hear the echoes of your laughter
Falling in heavy rain

Oh Marlena
I'm your broken lover
The kind you discover
Then always wash away
Then always wash away

You're a rail rider who travels where you please
The rocking cars put your mind at ease
Your happy with love as memory
Another way to say you're living free

Oh Marlena
I'm your broken lover
The kind you discover
Then always wash away
Then always wash away

Marlena, your heart pumps with the engine
Your wild eyes gaze up at the stars
I know you buried our fever
Will your tear drops wet the train car floor

Oh Marlena
I'm your broken lover
The kind you discover
Then always wash away
Then always wash away
