Compassionate Soulful Marlene
Bob A. Feldman
An antiwar folk love song from 1972, that's written and sung by one of the characters in the unproduced 1995 fictional screenplay, "The Fugitive Generation".
(verse 1)
Oh, you've won my heart
With your softness
Kind, gentle, blond-haired Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene.
It's been so long
Since I felt love
Compassionate, soulful Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene.
(chorus)
I'm a working-class lover
You're the fairest I see
I got sisters and brothers
You're the one most like me.
(verse 2)
Hearing your voice
Feeling you close
Makes me just think of Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene.
Watching you shine
Moves me inside
Wanting to only just kiss Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene. (chorus)
(verse 3)
Against the War
Serving the poor
Overwhelmed by your beauty
Marlene, Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene.
So brave and strong
Romance reborn
I'm madly in love with Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene,
Marlene, Marlene, Marlene. (chorus)
