Al Stewart - Marion The Chatelaine lyrics

When the great collector found her

She was just a girl

She rang a chord inside him

And he stole her to the centre of his world

Many wished they could be in her shoes

But she surely did know how to have the blues

He tried to make a star of her

She never did know why

And though she could have told him

There were some things that his money couldn't buy

She never knew a way to refuse

But she surely did know how to have the blues

They say tomorrow's such a long, long time

They say tomorrow never comes

Whatever happened to this dream of mine

Count the days as they run

He built himself a castle

On a hill above a bay

Where Marion the Chatelaine

Charmed every single one who came to stay

Some never knew, while others read the clues

That she surely did know how to have the blues

They say tomorrow's such a long, long time

They say tomorrow never comes

Whatever happened to this dream of mine

Count the days as they run

When all the parties ended

In the castle on the hill

The paintings and the statues stood alone

And all the corridors grew still

She got caught between the shadows and the booze

And she surely did know how to have the blues
