about

This song is about searching for lost love, even by means via taxi if necessary. Very pricey, but the heart wants what it wants. In 2018 I re-recorded the lead vocal, edited down the ending and added some effects.

lyrics

I hear the meter's still ticking so pretty soon I'll get off
'Cause I spent my last dollar. Expensive way to get lost.
But it's all gonna be worth it. I think she's there, on the second floor.
I'm going back to the past when I knock on Marie's door.

Lips of fire engine red. Those shoulder length brunette curls.
And ooh, those eyes of blue. Buddy, she is the perfect girl.
I don't care how much time has gone. Just one man that she could adore.
And it'll be just like it was when I knock on Marie's door.

She was gritty and so pretty, and that's all I could have wanted.
Worst mistake when I gave it up.
It doesn't matter what's come after. I'll be searching undaunted.
I'll get her back and we'll start it up.

This must be the place. Angel, please give me your answer.
Dammit! I thought that she lived here. When will her heart I capture?
Maybe she lives on up the hill, ten minutes or maybe more.
I can't wait 'til the date when I knock on Marie's door.
It'll be just like it was when I knock on Marie's door.
I'm going back to the past when I knock on Marie's door.
