Marnie

I'm like my mother
I like to stay at home
Unlike my father
I prefer to work alone
To feel the pain and the boredom
Wash over me

Thirteen years ago
I got married
Three years later
I began to run
I'm still not sure if it's over
If she's gone for good

Marnie
Have you gone through the valley in the wood
Does your father hate me like he should
Is it over are you really gone for good

I'm like a fireman
I feel better with the hose in my hand
When the fields burn
I soak them down
I watch the timbers turn to embers
Then I watch them drown

I've got a home now
I've got a woman
She loves me madly
And I love her too
I'm still not sure if it's over
If she's gone for good
