Marillion The Erin Marbles song lyrics

Did anyone see my last marble

As it rolled out and over the floor?

It fell through a hole in the corner

Of a room in a town on a tour

It's lonely without your last marble

I miss it not rattling around

As I lie in my bed there's a space in my head

Where there used to be colours and sound.

When I was a child I had marbles

They brought admiration and fame

They were pretty to look at and marbles

Was always my favourite game

There were almost four hundred until the black day

I discovered how high they would fly

If you used them for tennis instead of a ball

And whacked them up into the sky

That was almost the end of my marbles

Confiscated, I choked back the tears

I hung onto a handful of favourites

That disappeared over the years

Did anyone see my last marble

I swear that I had it before

Sometimes I think I should go see a shrink

In case he can find me some more

Did anyone see my last marble?

I'd saved it to give it away

Since I was a youth

Now I don't have no proof

Only words and what good are they?

Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my marbles to me, to me

Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my marbles to me
