Текст Mandolin Orange – Darling Girl

It’s a darling girl, my darling girl
With eyes as dark as night and a heart so true, and just so strong, set to live a darling life
As years roll by, she’ll grow up fine
She’ll sing a silent song, she’ll find your piano, She’ll find her voice

She’ll sing all the days long
I’m waiting on a ghost, to show her loving arms
Sweet Marie, I can see your faint light shining down on me
Go call on a brother, and a sister too

Go call on all the town
Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown
Though it all came so fast
Ten years soon past, before there was room for three

My sister will grow, my mother will know, soon there will be room for me
I’m waiting on a ghost
To show her loving arms
Sweet Marie, I can see, your faint light shining down on me

Like an old toy top, spins and stops
Or tag and last walks in the bar
A long summers wait, come winding down
She’ll be married in the fall

Now she sleeps with you Marie
Bitter sweet as this whole world
But they tell me soon, my sister soon will have a darling girl
I’m waiting on a ghost
To show her loving arms
Sweet Marie, I can see, your faint light shining down on me
