Lyrics for Song: Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem
Lyrics for Album: Alive Just For Love [2011]



My mother loved it so she said

Sad eyed pearl and drop lips

Glancing pierce through writer man

Spoke hushed and frailing hips

Her old eyes skim in creasing lids

A tear falls as she describes

Approaching death with a yearning heart

With pride and no despise



Hot tears flow as she recounts

Her favourite worded token

Forgive me please for hurting so

Don't go away heartbroken no

Don't go away heartbroken no



Just wise owl tones no velvet lies

Crush her velvet call

Oh Marlene suffer all the fools

Who write you on the wall

And hold your tongue about your life

Or dead hands will change the plot

Will make your loving sound like snakes

Like you were never hot



Hot tears flow as she recounts

Her favourite worded token

Forgive me please for hurting so



My mother loved it so she said

Sad eyed pearl and drop lips yeah

Glancing pierce through writer man

Spoke hushed and frailing lips yeah

Old eyes skim in creasing lids

A tear falls as she describes

Approaching death with a yearning heart

With pride and no despise



Hot tears flow as she recounts

Her favourite worded token

Forgive me please for hurting so

(Repeat to improvise)
