Marlene

The ghost of her

Floats over there

And the smile, the smile

It seems so lonely

She gave me her hand

As I struck up the band

And she seemed to say, she seemed to say

˜You're the only'

And then we danced like two snowflakes

In the falling wind

In the wind

And do me a favour god

Won't you let Marlene come in

The gymnasium floor

The price bound door

The jungle bird the jungle bird

That you showed me

Her love was so clean

To tell the truth Marlene

The sound of your tambourine still owns me

We were so young then

Now that I'm old I know, oh I know

I loved you right then

I would have made Marlene let go

My friends in the bars

Hell they only see the scars

And they do not give a damn, they do not give a damn That I loved you

I don't know why

But once you've seen the sky

You think you know all birds are lovely

But there's snow on the ground

In Woodstock tonight

It's 22 years dead

Since I saw the light

The world it explodes

As such a high powered load

To run, to run, to run

Was all I left me

Appeared as breeze

High in the clouds we're free

To fly, to fly away

Was the lesson

You know the fire it burned her life out

Left me little more

I am a crippled singer

And it evens up the score

The ghost of her

It floats over there

And the smile, the smile

It seems so lonely

She gave me her hand

As I struck up the band

And she seemed to say, she seemed to say

˜You're the only'

And then we danced like two snowflakes

In the falling wind

In the wind

And do me a favour god

Won't you let Marlene come in

And do me a favour god

Won't you let Marlene come in

The Cleveland Hill alumni Group on Facebook has more info about the fire and about Jackson Frank. My older sister was the same age as Frank, Marlene lived two doors down from us. Her parents moved away soon after the fire.

No, No, No

Thanks for posting the meaning of the song- for those like me who didn't know. I heard this song from the ending of the film "Martha Marcy May Marlene".

tomorrow (3-31) is 60 years removed from the Cleveland Hills School Boiler Fire that took the lives of both Marlene Du Pont and Marlene Miller and 13 other classmates and inflicted severe physical and mental pain on Jackson C. Frank for life. This is such a powerful and sad song and with memorable lines about " I am a crippled single" and "evening up the score" and "ghost of her hair" and "let Marlene come in"... I also think a lot over the years of Blaine Poss, another classmate who was killed in the explosion, who apparently escaped and then went back in to try and pull another classmate out.

Yeah Same Here, Marlene Is Someone He Dated Or Had A Crush On And This Is A Song That He Wrote Years Later About Marlene, She Died In The Cleveland Hill School Fire In 1954. We Think It Happened By A Boiler Explosion, Well At Least We Think. It Is 2014 Exactly 60 Years AFTER The Fire. R.I.P All Or The Ones Who perished In The Tragidy.

I am from Buffalo and was born two years after the fire. Never heard one thing about the fire, or Jackson Frank (despite the fact my dad's pal was a Cleveland Hill fireman) -- until I spoke with a friend/survivor about it last year. I asked why he never talked about it before and he said, "It was too horrifying."
