Debra Cowan - Lili Marlene Walks Away Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Joseph is the legless soldier selling souvenirs of the war
  • Outside a bombed out church where no one wants to worship anymore
  • Beneath the houses and the ruined flats
  • Women and children crouch like cellar rats
  • “Give us our daily bread” they pray
  • Lili paints her nails, puts on her nylons and prepares to walk away
  • Lili Marlene walks away
  • Jesus is the old woman begging on the corner of the street
  • Where little children sell themselves to anyone for a bite to eat
  • A piece of chocolate or chewing gum
  • A candy bar or any little crumb
  • “Our Father, where art thou?” they pray
  • Lili combs her hair puts on her party dress and turns to walk away
  • Lili Marlene walks away
  • Maria is the virgin on the mattress in a backroom up the stairs
  • Disciples come in queues at night to kneel between her legs and offer prayers
  • A pack of cigarettes buys innocence
  • A jar of coffee for the sacraments
  • “Forgive our trespasses” they pray
  • Lili checks her lipstick gives her brightest smile and quickly walks away
  • Lili Marlene walks away
  • How to buy the milk to feed his baby growing in her every day
  • A quick encounter on a dustbin lid along a lonely alleyway
  • Against a barrack wall at dead of night
  • Communion underneath the broken light
  • “Thy kingdom come to us” they pray
  • Lili smoothes her stockings in a state of grace and slowly walks away
  • Lili Marlene walks away
  • Lili Marlene walks away
  • Lili Marlene walks away
