lyrics

If you see my Marianne
Tell her I was on the moon by the time she called
If she hung on the line and heard the minor chords
but never heard my voice
If it finally hit her that the words I used to write to her are gone
Well even the angels only wait around so long
So tell her I never lied
I died almost every night

If you see her out tonight
If she looks as if she's falling like a stone
Tell her it's alright but that if I'm moving at all I'm moving on
Tell her that I only take the long way home on sentimental nights
But I'd still bail her out if she was in a bind
Because those city boys don't know the line
They'd mix your innocence with blood and wine
And lord knows I've tried

All my life I've heard the echoes of the bells that ring
These pretty imitations always cut the same
Sounding like my mothers voice
Calling out my name from the bottom of the stairs
On Sundays in the summer when the creek would run
And the neighbor's dogs would chase me in the harvest sun
I feel it all enough, my dear

If you see my father
Tell him I still see the magic through the wires
Ive sinned the same as anyone but I payed for them in parking deck attire
I've learned to dig the Jazz in life
The times when words don't need to be part of
The things that you do for the ones you love
So just tell him I could not begin to shine a light on all he's been for me
But lord knows I'll try

If you see Elizabeth
Please tell her that my heartstrings have begun to tire
From bending, almost breaking, always aging
Towards that long walk down the aisle
The holiest vows I'll ever have to keep and carry and uphold
The comfort in the fact that I won't ever have to carry them alone
So please tell Elizabeth that I'm doing better now
The thoughts that kept me wandering the halls have left the house
And lord knows it's time
