Ah Marion
I wish that you would take my name
Each time I'm around you I feel a golden flame
Growing... closer it calls
On some unforgotten shore
A troubadour plays
For the court of the golden Lady of the Sea
Crossing oceans in a mist,
Crossing home eventually
Talk of old beaus and saucy maids is a weathered thing
Marion, I'm offering you a wedding ring
Of fine diamonds and aquamarine
Will Scarlet will tailor our wedding vows
In Sherwood green,
And Tuck will marry us
under freshly garlanded boughs
In tongues of a fair and ancient hue,
We'll whisper to each other, "Darlin, I do"
Ah...Marion
I wish that you would take my name
On some unforgotten shore
A troubadour plays for the court
Of the golden lady of the sea
Crossing oceans in a mist.
Crossing home eventually
I know you are the lover of the dance
But sweet Marion
I'm throwing down the gauntlet
In the name of true romance
Can you manage my plight
Or must I shower you
With the fancy of a further flight
Grey goose feathered arrows
Sent to unleash the marrow
And connect the essence of me
With the everlasting of you
Nineteen years we've put wind in this sail
With hide and seek and fairy tale
Standing in the silver light of dawn
A gentle touch and then it's gone
Our lips graze, my hand touches your shoulder
A single mayflower nestled in hawthorne
Its stem does scold us
Ah Marion
I wish that you would take my name
On some unforgotten shore
A troubadour plays for the Lady of the Sea
Crossing oceans in a mist
Crossing home eventually
It's time to mend this tapestry of silken cloth
Lean in closer
C'mon sweet Marion
To thee I pledge my troth
I think a child is in the offing
She'll have your smile and my curls,
Your green eyes and play with coral shells
And strands of the finest pearls
Ahhhh Marion,
I wish that you would take my name
Each time I'm near you I feel the flame
Closer it calls
Marry me and we'll ride viking ponies on the beach
I'm not trying to blind side you with my own agenda
This time it really is for keeps
Yes, this time it is for keeps
I know you are the lover of the dance
but I'm throwing down the gauntlet
in the name of True Romance
Ahhh Marion,
You kiss my soul
