Marion Amidst the Roses

[Verse 1]
When I am old and weary
Who'll be there to sing?
When I am tired and bleary-eyed
Who'll be there to bring me home?
I take a chill in the winter
And I spend all summer

[Chorus]
In Normandy
We have always stayed the summer there
With Marion, who brings us tea and roses
And a memory of love no one supposes
Amidst the roses

[Verse 2]
Where are my knights and passions?
Nothing left to say
And now my life's spent, fashioned
Out among thе courtships and the grave
Between thе flowers of mourning
And the chill of evening

[Chorus]
In Normandy
We have always stayed the summer there
And Marion, who brings us tea and roses
And a memory of lust no one supposes
Amidst the roses

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
