Marlena
Bay City Rollers · Other Songs - Bay City Rollers
riding high on the stars above
and then an eye of love comes and carries you away
then you dream of a thousand faces
watching you on a silver screen
and then the morning comes
chasing all your dreams away
and I say oh Marlena, who you gonna be today
oh Marlena, don't you know you're gonna' do you life away
oh you dream of a deep blue ocean
on the shores of a seven seas
and then you sail the wind
gliding on a silver wave
and you dream of a golden city
in the land of a prince so fair
and then the eyes of love turn into another day
and I say oh Marlena, who you gonna be today
oh Marlena, don't you know you're gonna' do you life away
oh Marlena, who you gonna be today
oh Marlena, don't you know you're gonna' do you life away
oh Marlena, who you gonna be today
oh Marlena, don't you know you're gonna' do you life away
