Marlena

Bay City Rollers · Other Songs - Bay City Rollers

oh you dream of a silver stallion

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
