so you've come back for Jenniferyou know, she hides her face behind a veil
I'm warning you Frankie, leave on the next trainyour Jennifer she just isn't the samequit waving that thing about! come back!come back and give me a chance to explainyour baby will never cry again.so don't try to reach outand don't let the ship's flag downpoint the figure-head at the stormand drive her hard upondon't stop and don't stopand don't let the veil drop(another ship ready to sail--the rigging is tighttight like Jennifer's veil).she drew the curtain on her faceever since they came and burnt the old place downwhy is she searching through the ashes?why, only Jennifer knows that now.and the officer, without a word,left all his junk and just moved out.so don't try to reach outand don't let the ship's flag downpoint the figure-head at the glass smash! smash! into shardsdon't stop and don't touch!and don't let the veil drop...behind Jennifer's veiloh god! Frankie! is that really you!get back! don't reach out!get back, and get that lantern out of my room! don't try to reach outand don't let the ship's flag downdown, down over her, like a shroudand let her sail on the sea like a stone.don't touch and don't touchand don't let the veil dropanother ship ready to dock...the rigging comes loose...
