Counting the lines along the road
Wish I could keep them
Put them inside a safe like gold
In case I might need them

To carry me back if she should call
One day out of nowhere
Open the gates, unlock the vault
cnd maybe I'll go there

If I'd have known that you'd just disappear
This time you're gone, it's all too much to bare

Oh, Marlena
Was it more than just pretend?
I know it's late, but
When your heart is on the mend
Can you reckon with the love you had back then?
Marlena, will you ever pass this way again?

Counting the lines on this old face
More than you'd notice
I try to determine time and place
But it's out of focus

So carry me back when it was bright
The night that she held me
When all was possible and light
For us and so many

If I'd have known the way to hold you near
cll this time alone is too much for one year

Oh, Marlena
Was it more than just pretend?
Sooner or later
When your heart is on the mend
Can you reckon with the love we had back then?
Marlena, will you ever pass my way again?

Now when you say you're lonely
cm I the only hope you find?
Think I'd wait forever,
Or that I better stay behind?
(Well maybe I don't mind)

So many lines we left untied
So much to learn here
I'll send one across the great divide
With the hope you return here

Oh, Marlena
Was it more than just pretend?
I know it's late, but
When your heart is on the mend
Can you reckon with the love we shared back then?
Marlena, will you ever pass my way again?
Marlena, will you ever pass my way again?
