Jennifer`s Veil Lyrics

Jennifer`s Veil

So you've come back for Jennifer

 You know, she hides her face behind a veil

 I'm warning you Frankie, leave on the next train

 Your Jennifer she just isn't the same

 Quit waving that thing about! Come back!

 Come back and give me a chance to explain

 Your baby will never cry again.

 

 

 So don't try to reach out

 And don't let the ship's flag down

 Point the figure-head at the storm

 And drive her hard upon

 Don't stop and don't stop

 And don't let the veil drop

 (Another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tight

 Tight like Jennifer's veil).

 

 

 She drew the curtain on her face

 Ever since they came and burnt the old place down

 Why is she searching through the ashes?

 Why, only Jennifer knows that now.

 And the officer, without a word,

 Left all his junk and just moved out.

 

 

 So don't try to reach out

 And don't let the ship's flag down

 Point the figure-head at the glass

 Smash! Smash! into shards

 Don't stop and don't touch!

 And don't let the veil drop...behind Jennifer's veil

 

 

 Oh God! Frankie! Is that really you!

 Get back! Don't reach out!

 Get back, and get that lantern out of my room!

 

 

 Don't try to reach out

 And don't let the ship's flag down

 Down, down over her, like a shroud

 

 

 And let her sail on the sea like a stone.

 Don't touch and don't touch

 And don't let the veil drop

 Another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...
