lyrics

Back to the Fold

As I drove away that night
The moon rested on the misty hills
Now she was out of sight
But her eyes they looked into me still

Only knew her for a week
Her face was open as the sky
Seemed my look she’d always seek
Couldn’t turn away as hard as I might try

CH
But I left her in the cold had to go back to the fold
I had bonds where she was free
But when she held my gaze unflinching and unfazed
Melted my heart did she

And when she left the car
Wish I’d felt her close embrace
Now I look up at the stars
Should I have kissed her lips and touched her face

CH

Marianne was her name
And oh, to feel her warm skin against mine
Did she feel the same?
The glance she threw me when she gave me wine

Will we ever meet again?
She said she’d like to keep in touch
Will she only live for me through the pen?
I could have loved her so much
