mara lisa
Mara Lisa waves her hand at the car With a stick and a rose-colored shawl Fighting of tears of a dull and a deafening pain They'll repay every senseless act They ever borrowed from you Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa? Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa? Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard Up onto the porch to a sip of tea Wounded soldier with a cane and a bitter remedy You'll repay every trick you pulled On the boys that were lost out at sea Oh they drowned in your memory, didn't they, Mara Lisa? You'll repay every senseless act To the boys who were dead in the field Oh you know they're were already killed, don't you, Mara Lisa? Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa? Were you even capable of love? If you were, then how do you know Innocence keeps tabs on the ones it can't see It wet it's lips, and it said "Mara Lisa" Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard Up onto the porch to a sip of tea Wounded woman with a cane and a bitter remedy You'll repay every trick you pulled To the boys that were lost out in the field
