The Marquee Lyrics by Stan Simon

Ruins

2016

Verse 1
Rock and roll has met its end
As the jukebox plays songs of ghost’s golden days
A lonely bar in a lonesome town
I’m breaking down
Wondering where you are
Down the street or somewhere far

Chorus
The marquee says you and me
Are leaving town tonight on a highway to the sea
There is no show, no crowd to clap
I’m waiting in the alley for you to come back

Verse 2
From my table stands the stage
Where I played drunken nights to empty rooms and their lights
Another drink the bartender pours
I’m staring at the door
Wondering where you are
Down the street or somewhere far

Chorus
The marquee says you and me
Are leaving town tonight on a highway to the sea
There is no show, no crowd to clap
I’m waiting in the alley for you to come back

Chorus
The marquee says you and me
Are leaving town tonight on a highway to the sea
There is no show, no crowd to clap
I’m waiting in the alley for you to come back
