So you've come back for Jennifer?
|
You know, she hides her face behind a veil,
|
And i'm warnin' ya Frankie, leave on the next train,
|
your Jennifer she just ain't the same.
|
Hey quit waving that thing around! Oh come back!
|
Come back; and give me a chance to explain.
|
Your baby will never cry again.
|
|
So don't try to reach out
|
and don't let the ship's flag down.
|
Point the figure-head at the storm
|
and drive her hard upon.
|
Don't stop and don't stop
|
and don't let the veil drop.
|
Another ship ready to sail - the rigging is tight
|
tight like Jennifer's veil.
|
|
She drew the curtain on her face
|
ever since they came and burnt the old place down
|
And why is she searching through the ashes?
|
Why, only Jennifer knows that now.
|
And the officer, without a word,
|
left all his junk and just moved out.
|
|
So don't try to reach out
|
and don't let the ship's flag down.
|
Point the figure-head at the glass
|
smash! Smash, Into shards!
|
Don't stop and don't touch
|
and don't let the veil drop...behind Jennifer's veil
|
|
Oh god Frankie is that really you?!
|
Get back! Don't reach out!
|
Get back, and get that lantern out of my room!
|
|
And don't try to reach out
|
and don't let the ship's flag down
|
down, down over her, like a shroud
|
and let her sail on the sea like a stone.
|
Don't touch and don't touch
|
and don't let the veil drop
|
another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose
|
...like Jennifer's veil...
