Lyrics

Marian

It was 1993, in a backstreet in Bangkok
An Indian came up to me and said
I know your mother's name
And you've got a future to be told
And you've got a fortune to behold

I said what's the deal
How do I know that what you say is real?
He said I'll tell you your mothers
I'll l tell you your mothers name
If you listen

If you listen ay yay yay

A piece of paper and an airline pen
Put the letters together
That spelled out Marian
Yes that is my mother's name
How did you know, was all that I could say
How did you know, he said you've got to pray

He said your mother's really ill
A hundred dollars should fit the bill
I'll send it to India
Where thousands will pray for her, if you listen

If you listen ay yay yay

If you listen, if you listen

We dressed you up in shades of pine
I wish that I could come with you
To make sure that all was fine
I wish that I could come with you
Just for the day, make sure that everything's ok
Just fir the day, make sure that everything's ok

Now you are free again
Now you are free again
Now you are free again

Marian
