Marliese Lyrics

I told them I take photos for this magazine
They let me in to see you comb your hair
I watched for signs as I came through that door
The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for
It's no use hoping I'm a dreamOh Marliese
The waiting almost brought me
To my knees
Oh Marliese
You never really thought that
I'd leave you in peaceIt's no use crying out 'cause they can't help you now
You're forced to hear the words I have to say
I saw your face when I was taken down
You seemed so pleased, you're not so happy now
It's your turn to be afraidOh Marliese
The waiting almost brought me
To my knees
Oh Marliese
You didn't really think that

I'd leave you in peaceOh Marliese
The waiting almost brought me
To my knees
Oh Marliese
You never really thought that
I'd leave you in peaceSo where's the smooth composure of the movie star?
You must have played this many times before
Do I see tears? Well, surely that's not true
Don't kid yourself, it's not worth hurting you
But remember when you try to sleepOh Marliese
The waiting nearly brought me
To my knees
Oh Marliese
You never really thought that
I'd leave you in peace
