Jerry Leger - Back to Marianna's Side Lyrics

In the land where the mind gets lost in confusion
And the heart gets lost in the mind
And the moon can become your only beacon
On a pitch black road
Back to Marianna's side

I gave up the story I was believing
I couldn't bear for her to be another's wife
So I bid farewell to the life I was living
And made my return back to Marianna's side

There was such sweet thunder off in the distance
And soft pillows in the pale blue sky
The loneliness was a blanket I was sharing
On my way back to Marianna's side

The railway signals were not in my favor
And the traffic was always far from light
I prayed for my loving savior
I prayed for Marianna in the night

I prayed she hadn't found some other sweetheart
So I selfishly bowed my head and cried
When I was far too late for our true love reunion
And there was another by Marianna's side

So don't take for granted
Whatever you do
Or you'll feel so alone before you die
You may reach out for that hand you let go of
You may long for your Marianna by your side
