"Bow To The Sad Lady" lyrics

Marelisa waves her hand at the car
With a stick and a rose-colored shawl
Fighting off tears of a doll and a deafening pain

And they'll repay every senseless act
That they ever borrowed from you
Oh just wait and you will see, won't you, Marelise?

Through the curtain, sees the town and the parades
Oh you know how innocence fades, don't you, Marelise?

Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard
Up and to the porch to sip a tea
Wounded soldier with a cane and a bitter remedy

You'll repay every trick that you pull
On the soldiers that died in the field
Oh you know they were already killed, don't you Marelise?
And you'll repay every trick that you pulled to the boys who are now lost at sea
Oh they drowned in your memory, didn't they Marelise?

Through the curtain, sees the town and the parades
Oh you know how innocence fades, don't you Marelise?

And were you even capable of love
And if you were, then how do you know?
Innocence keeps tabs on the ones that it can't see
It wet its lips and it said, "Marelise"

Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard
Up onto the porch to sip a tea
Wounded woman with a cane and a sad remedy
And you'll repay every senseless act they ever borrowed from you
Oh just wait and you will see, won't you Marelise?
