1
So you've come back for Jennifer
2
You know, she hides her face behind a veil
3
I'm warning you Frankie, leave on the next train
4
Your Jennifer she just isn't the same
5
Quit waving that thing about! Come back!
6
Come back and give me a chance to explain
7
Your baby will never cry again.
8
So don't try to reach out
9
And don't let the ship's flag down
10
Point the figure-head at the storm
11
And drive her hard upon
12
Don't stop and don't stop
13
And don't let the veil drop
14
(Another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tight
15
Tight like Jennifer's veil).
16
She drew the curtain on her face
17
Ever since they came and burnt the old place down
18
Why is she searching through the ashes?
19
Why, only Jennifer knows that now.
20
And the officer, without a word,
21
Left all his junk and just moved out.
22
So don't try to reach out
23
And don't let the ship's flag down
24
Point the figure-head at the glass
25
Smash! Smash! into shards
26
Don't stop and don't touch!
27
And don't let the veil drop...behind Jennifer's veil
28
Oh God! Frankie! Is that really you!
29
Get back! Don't reach out!
30
Get back, and get that lantern out of my room!
31
Don't try to reach out
32
And don't let the ship's flag down
33
Down, down over her, like a shroud
34
And let her sail on the sea like a stone.
35
Don't touch and don't touch
36
And don't let the veil drop
37
Another ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...
