VERSE 1
It was a year ago today
When she had said she’d lost her way
I still taste those Camel blues and cheap champagne
Oklahoma’s such a drag
When you’ve forgotten what you had
They will dress you up in borrowed suits and names
But the more you change the more you feel the pain
CHORUS
Marylyn, it don’t come easy
Oh the truth, it falls like snow
Marylyn, please believe me
We’re just ripples in these waters don’t you know
VERSE 2
Fantasies, unrealized dreams
Of futures, come undone
Evergreens, hilltops rambling
California’s such a drag
When you’ve forgotten what you had
They will dress you up in borrowed suits and names
But the more you change the more you feel the pain
BRIDGE
I heard she bought a busted trailer
And locked up her faded dreams
I always sympathized and bastardized
Now she’s living on the run
Heading west to the fires in the sun
CHORUS
Marylyn, it don’t come easy
Oh the truth, it falls like snow
Marylyn, please believe me
We’re just ripples in these waters don’t you know
