Marina (Wild Winds Blow) Lyrics

Met her by a '65 Ford, the engine running slow

She tossed me the keys and said, "You ready to go?"

Her jacket was torn, but she wore it like gold

A girl who never did what she was told

Her name was Marina and she liked it short

Said she'd been everywhere, from south to north

She lit a match and watched it burn slow

Then laughed, "Don't ask me where I'll go"

Marina, Marina, where did you go?

We danced through the night, let the wild winds blow

We had just one summer, but we made it last

Now you're just a memory that's fading fast

Marina, Marina, I miss you so!

Down by the river, where the city fades

We threw our shoes off, jumped the barricades

The water was cold, but we didn't care

That night, it was just us and the open air

We raced the sunrise on that empty road

Windows down, and the night just flowed

She laughed like she had no fear in her soul

And I was lost in her Rock 'n' Roll

Marina, Marina, where did you go?

We danced through the night, let the wild winds blow

We had just one summer, but we made it last

Now you're just a memory that's fading fast

Marina, Marina, I miss you so!

Marina, Marina, where did you go?

We danced through the night, let the wild winds blow

We had just one summer, but we made it last

Now you're just a memory that's fading fast

Marina, Marina, I miss you so!

When I first saw you, I knew you'd be gone

Like a whisper of thunder, you'd be moving on

I knew you were wild the moment we met

Like a wave crashing, something I'd never forget

Marina, Marina, where did you go?

We danced through the night, let the wild winds blow

We had just one summer, but we made it last

Now you're just a memory that's fading fast

Marina, Marina, I miss you so!

When I first saw you, I knew you'd be gone

Like a whisper of thunder, you'd be moving on

I knew you were wild the moment we met

Like a wave crashing, something I'd never forget

Marina, Marina, where did you go?

We danced through the night, let the wild winds blow

We had just one summer, but we made it last

Now you're just a memory that's fading fast

Marina, Marina, I miss you so!
